Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Transfer back to Kigali

Today is the day you have been waiting for. After an early breakfast, your driver-guide will transfer you to the starting point for a briefing about the gorilla trekking adventure you are about to take. You will be briefed by experienced ranger guides and trackers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Coming face to face with mountain gorillas depends on where they nested the previous night and can take 2-7 hours before you meet them. Gorilla tracking can be physically demanding but the whole experience is amazing and worth it. You will track a habituated family which is comfortable with human presence. Once you meet these beautiful gentle giant gorillas, you will be allowed one hour with them, watching how they interact with their young ones, vocalize, and feed.
You will then have your lunch away from them in the forest and return to the park offices for a small ceremony.
You will then be transferred back to your hotel in Kigali or to the airport for your onward travel.
