Gorilla Trekking Experience
Following a ranger guide's briefing and an early breakfast, you will enter the impenetrable Bwindi Forest. This rainforest is really beautiful! Although the area is quite dense and offers a spectacular, steeply forested terrain, many animal pathways cut through it, making it accessible to tourists. The terrain and the amount of time vary according to how these large primates move. You will have an hour to spend with a group of gorillas after you have found them. Spending time with these gentle and endangered giants is an amazing and thrilling experience that should be cherished for a long time.
Then head back to your lodge. After eating lunch, check out to be transferred to Lake Bunyonyi. The verdant hills that encircle Lake Bunyonyi rise to a height of 2,200 to 2,478 meters, but what really makes it wonderful are the 29 islands of all sizes and shapes strewn over the lake; you could gaze at them all day. With a depth of 900 meters, it is also regarded as Africa's third-deepest lake.
