Day 1

At about 3:00am, we take a drive of about 2.5hrs to the Rwanda/Uganda border of Cyanika. Arrive in time and assisted with customs. Cross to Uganda and your driver on the other side will greet and brief you before transfer to the National Park headquarters. After completing our park formalities, we embark on a once in a life time experience of tracking gorillas. Once you spot them you are allowed to spend an hour watching your closest long-lost cousin. This is perhaps one of the most breath-taking experiences on earth. You get so close to these awesome giant primates. You stare at each other blankly not knowing who to break the long silence first. It is important to bring good hiking boots, long trousers, gloves for protection against stinging nettles, some snacks & sweets (for you, not the gorillas) as well as enough water as the rain forest gets hot and humid during the day.

After the trek transferred back to the border, cross back to Rwanda and continue with your onward journey.
