Gorilla tracking and Batwa Encounter

On this day, you will wake up very early for your breakfast and then transfer to the park headquarters where you will attend a briefing about your gorilla tracking activity.

You will join the other visitors in a group of 8 and head into the misty forest searching for gorillas. The gorilla trek takes you through the steep slopes and thick vegetation of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and it can last from 1 hour to 6 hours depending on where you find these gentle giants.

When you reach the gorillas, you will spend 1 hour with them and get to see them interact with each other, groom, eat and play around. You will return to the starting point and receive your gorilla tracking certificate.

In the afternoon, after lunch, engage in the Batwa encounter, learning about the indigenous traditional way of life. Participate in their local activities such as dispensing traditional medicine and dancing to their folk songs.
