Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable and Drive to Queen Elizabeth NP

Today is the big day! Prepare yourself for an encounter with the gentle giants; the rare mountain gorillas.

For most people, this is the absolute highlight of their 4 Days Gorilla & Chimp Tracking Safari. You will go into the forest in groups of not more than 8 in search of mountain gorillas. En route, your guide will point out previous signs of gorilla activity such as dung, nests, and chewed bamboo shoots.

Your trek will be an exciting journey along forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes, and bamboo. Upon finding the gorillas, you will spend a maximum of 1 hour with them after which you will be led back to the starting point.

After gorilla tracking, your driver/guide will drive you to the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, and if lucky you will spot the tree-climbing Lions.
