Gorilla Safari - trek

Rise up to the birds of Bwindi impenetrable forest to prepare and go trek the gorillas. After having breakfast, with your packed lunch proceed to the park headquarters for briefing. You will be briefing by the park rangers about what to expect during the trek ad also about the history of the park. After briefing you will be allocated a gorilla family to track and in groups of 8 people plus 3 park rangers you will start the search for the gorillas. The trekking time before meeting the gorillas ranges between 2 to 8 hours. The actual hike in search for gorillas does not require experience and if you can manage walking and require a lift in the African Helicopter, it is always good to inform the guide in advance. Once you meet the gorillas, you will be allowed to spend 1 hour taking pictures and then return to the starting point.
