Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National park
Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National park
Prepare for an extraordinary mountain gorilla trekking experience by waking early and donning the recommended attire: long trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, waterproof hiking shoes, a waterproof jacket, a round hat, and heavy-duty gloves to combat the unpredictable forest weather. After breakfast, meet your guide for a pre-trek briefing. With a group of 8 and armed rangers, embark on the trek. Be mentally and physically prepared for the challenging terrain and consider your fitness level when selecting a gorilla family to track. Be ready for varying durations, from 45 mins to 6 hours, based on gorilla location. Encounter diverse wildlife and learn from your guide about the ecosystem. Upon meeting the gorilla family, enjoy a mesmerizing hour observing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Respect their space, avoid direct eye contact with the dominant silverback, and maintain a calm demeanor if confronted. Receive a trekking certificate and return to the lodge for relaxation.
