Gorilla Tracking and Transfer to Kigali

You will wake up for an early morning breakfast and proceed to the briefing point. You will get to enjoy the highlight of your trip—Gorilla trekking, which may last from 2 to 6 hours depending on the group you are visiting. You will trek through the rainforest and bamboo-covered slopes, accompanied by a Uganda Wildlife Authority guide and other trackers, in search of a mountain gorilla family. The walk can sometimes be tough and long, but when you catch a glimpse of the magnificent silverback, any discomforts will be quickly forgotten. Due to the nature of the activity, you will have a packed lunch. After gorilla trekking, you will drive through the terraced hills to Kigali city and upon arrival your driver will drop you off at the airport.
