Gorilla Tracking and Transfer to Kalinzu Forest

After an early breakfast, you will drive to the briefing point in the forest of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to get enlightened about your adventure with the mountain gorillas. You are advised to carry enough drinking water and a lunch box. For 15 US dollars, you can get a potter to carry your bag and give you a hand in slippery or steep parts of the forest. After the briefing, you are distributed into groups of eight and led by a park ranger into the forest where you will spend one hour with the gentle giants. Rain gear is important considering that Bwindi is a tropical rainforest. An optional community visit is possible depending on the time you come back from tracking. After tracking, you will be transferred to Rubirizi near Kalinzu Forest in preparation for the chimpanzee trekking the next day. You'll have dinner and an overnight stay.
