Gorilla trekking experience and community tour
Gorilla trekking experience and community tour
Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Forest is the major highlight of the visit Uganda safaris tour. You will set off early with guides after breakfast at 7:00 am to track the Uganda gorillas. The thrill of your encounter will wipe out the difficulties of the potentially laborious trek. Come in jungle boots and rain jackets because the park is often wet. Use the time to watch the gorillas go about their activities. Each gorilla encounter is different and has its own rewards, but you are likely to enjoy to the extremes when adults are feeding, grooming and resting as the youngsters play and swing from vines in a pleasantly good-humored show. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a magnificent green swaddle of dense rainforest, so ancient that survived the last ice age. After the trek, go back to the lodge for relaxation and later visit the community. You will stay overnight at Bakiga Lodge.
