After a short briefing by one of the park officials, you will be allocated a ranger guide who will lead the group into the forest to find the chimpanzees.

Gorilla Trekking Experience in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

This day is always regarded as the biggest day of all days on the safari. So, after breakfast, you will head out to the park headquarters where you have to get to no later than 7:30 am. Here, you will join other visitors for a briefing by one of the park staff. Thereafter, you will meet with the lead guide who will take you into the forest to find the gorilla family that you will be allocated to. This may take between 2-7 hours round trip depending on how long the family you are trekking will have moved today from where it was last seen yesterday. Depending on how you feel, you may go out for an evening community walk through the villages very close to the forest.
