Gorilla Tracking in Southern Bwindi

Wake up early and have a hearty breakfast to fuel yourself for the day ahead.
After breakfast, you'll be driven to the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park headquarters for a briefing on gorilla tracking rules and safety guidelines. This briefing is essential to ensure the well-being of both the gorillas and visitors.
Following the briefing, you'll be assigned to a gorilla tracking group, along with a professional guide and park rangers.
Your group will then embark on a trek through the dense Bwindi forest in search of a habituated gorilla family. The duration of the trek can vary, but it typically takes 2-6 hours to locate the gorillas, depending on their location.
Midday
Once you find the gorillas, you'll have an awe-inspiring hour to observe and photograph them from a safe and respectful distance. This is a truly unique and unforgettable wildlife encounter.
After spending time with the gorillas, you'll return to the park headquarters.
