What to see/expect
Gorilla trekking
No activity in Uganda is as exciting as gorilla tracking in Bwindi impenetrable forest. It is an exciting journey as you will manoeuvre through forest twigs and thick vegetation to reach a gorilla family. Early in the morning, you will get briefed by a ranger before entering the impenetrable forest to track these close relatives. Once found, you will be allowed to stay a maximum of one hour with the gorillas. For most people, the moment of being so close to the gorillas has been emotional and touching.
Lake Bunyonyi
The lake gets its name “Bunyonyi” from the many varied small-sized birds around it. The green and lush terraced hills around punctuate with a plethora of over 200 bird species. That makes it a perfect ideal place for bird enthusiasts. Besides bird watching, one can join activities like canoeing, swimming, and hikes/nature walks, giving you a feeling of tradition and culture from surrounding communities.

Gorilla Trekking
Today you will wake up early for breakfast, gather your provisions, including a box lunch, and depart for the park headquarters for your encounter with the giant mountain gorillas. There will be a briefing with the park’s professional guides who will thoroughly explain the day’s activities and what to expect during your encounter with a habituated gorilla family. Habituated gorillas are still wild but through a lengthy, careful process of desensitization are comfortable in the presence of humans. However, to minimize stress to these precious wild creatures, your visit with them is limited to no more than one hour per day. Your park gorilla tracking permit is limited to this one-time, one-hour experience.
After the gorilla trek we will drive to Lake Bunyoni for dinner and overnight lodging.
