Track Golden Monkeys and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Track Golden Monkeys and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Make sure to have breakfast first thing in the morning and be at the park's headquarters in Kinigi by 7:00 in the morning. Meet the park rangers and other hikers while you learn about the golden monkeys and the adventure. Your transfer to the trailhead outside the park will begin at 8:00 in the morning. As you begin your journey inside the park in search of the golden monkeys, take in breathtaking vistas of the mountain environment. Near the park's perimeter, in the bamboo forests, you can find the golden monkeys. The terrain there is flat and easy to traverse. Track down the monkeys and observe them while they eat, paying close attention to how they delicately pluck the young leaves of the bamboo tree. The park may be evacuated and the potato fields taken over.
You will return to the trailhead and have lunch at the lodge after an incredible hour with the golden monkeys. After that, make your way to the border. Once we clear there, we'll continue on to Bwindi through Cyanika border.

Day 3
Gorilla Trekking and Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi
Gorilla Trekking and Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi
Get a rundown on what to do and what not to do while following gorillas at the park headquarters after an early breakfast. Next, you'll head over to the gorilla trek. Typically, tracing gorillas might take anything from 2 to 8 hours, or even a whole day. Having said that, you are welcome to spend at least an hour among these fantastic monkeys. Because the exact amount of time it takes to see the mountain gorillas is completely unpredictable, you will carry a packed lunch (lunch will be provided). Your next stop should be at Lake Bunyonyi. The drive passes through a scenic region of the nation that is often called "the Switzerland of Africa" due to its unusually mild climate despite its proximity to the Equator. Being bilharzia-free, it is one of the few areas in the nation where swimming is deemed safe, and it is also the second-deepest lake in Africa at 900 meters. You will have dinner and spend the night at Birds Nest Lodge.
