Day 2

Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

At the UWA briefing point in Bwindi, the locals will entertain you where after each group will be assigned a gorilla family to trek for the day in the company of an armed ranger. Due to the close relationship between humans and these gentle giants, travelers showing signs of airborne diseases are discouraged from coming close to mountain gorillas or can be completely denied the chance of trekking if rangers find it more severe. You are advised to treat flu and cough before traveling

The trekking experience takes between 1- 3 Hours and involves slippery trails. You may hire a local potter to help you during the trek with carrying luggage and gadget. Though tracking is the main attraction of the day, a range of stops can provide a relaxed opportunity to spot birds and monkeys while exploring one of Uganda's loveliest rainforest. After trekking, you will be awarded a certificate and drive to Kigali Airport.
