Gorilla trekking and Transfer back to Kigali

Your gorilla trekking adventure begins early in the morning with a hearty breakfast at your lodge. By 7:00 AM, you'll head to the park headquarters for a briefing from expert rangers on trekking guidelines, safety protocols, and gorilla behavior. You’ll then be assigned to a small group and led into Bwindi’s dense jungle, guided by experienced trackers who follow fresh signs of the gorillas' movements.

The trek can take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours. Expect to hike through thick vegetation, up steep trails, and across streams—comfortable hiking boots, long sleeves, and a walking stick are highly recommended. The moment you find the gorillas is truly magical. You’ll spend an awe-inspiring hour observing them up close as they interact, feed, and play, capturing unforgettable photos while maintaining a respectful distance.

After this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, you’ll trek back, receive your trekking certificate, and enjoy a well-earned lunch before your return transfer to Kigali.
