Gorilla Trekking

Early morning drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park headquarters where you will have an orientation and meet your guides for the day. Trekking the Mountain Gorilla is one of the most exciting wildlife experiences on earth. The trek will take between 2 and 7 hours but is well worth the effort. You will be led by an experienced ranger who will tell you interesting facts about flora and fauna and the lifestyle of the Gorillas. The trekking is a thrill and yet challenging as you hike through the forest to the Gorillas and once you reach a gorilla family, you will have a chance to observe the family in close proximity for an hour. Thereafter, cross the border back to Kigali and drop off at the airport for your connecting onward flight back home.
