Mountain Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi and Cultural Walk

You will then set out to track the gentle giants through thick vegetation as you hike up and down slippery slopes. Be vigilant to listen to their vocal communications and follow them until you finally catch sight of them. An hour with them is a guarantee as you observe and learn their habits while taking photos. After tracking, you will return to the lodge for refreshing. In the evening, you may go for a cultural walk to the Batwa community and the neighboring local community. You'll have dinner and an overnight stay.
