Gorilla trekking and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi
You will have an early breakfast and then proceed to the park headquarters to join other trackers for a briefing about the gorilla trekking rules at 7:45 am. You will trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with your guides to find the gorillas, which can take anywhere between 1 and 8 hours. The steeply forested landscape is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails, allowing access for tourists. You will have 1 hour to stay with the gorillas once you find them and thereafter transfer to Lake Bunyonyi.
The drive will be through a beautiful part of the country often referred to as "the Switzerland of Africa" because of its unique cool weather despite being near the Equator. This lake is said to be one of the most beautiful places in Western Uganda. It is the 2nd-deepest lake in Africa (900 meters deep) and also one of the few places in the country where it is considered safe to swim as it is bilharzia-free. Dinner and overnight will be at Bunyonyi Eco Resort.
