Mountain Gorilla Encounter - Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi

Spend the day tracking endangered mountain gorillas, spending close to two hours among them. See mothers keeping infants close as they knuckle walk on three limbs. Watch scampering toddlers reined in by an attentive father, who takes his job as protector of the family, quite personally.
