For most people this is the absolute highlight of their tour in Uganda. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest boasts both Mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzees - the only forest in Africa which can make this claim in fact. It also hosts five other species of primate, 113 species of mammal, over 200 butterflies and 360 birds. The Gorillas you will track belong to one of nine habituated family groups who can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. Your trek will be an exciting journey along forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes and bamboo before you eventually reach the Gorillas’ habitat. En-route, your guide will point out signs of previous Gorilla activity, including dung, nests and chewed bamboo shoots.
The time taken to track the Gorillas can
take as little as 2 hours to as much as 7
hours before one returns! Once the Gorillas
have been located, your group will be
allowed a maximum of one hour with them.
Coming face-to-face with a Mountain Gorilla
is a truly humbling and emotional
experience. This is a fantastic and
privileged opportunity to get up close and
personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in
the Mist'. Meal plan: Breakfast, Boxed Lunch and dinner DAY 3: SECOND GORILLA TREKKING BWINDI
