Day 2: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Wake up very early to a good breakfast to give you the energy needed for your gorilla tracking experience. At 0730 report to the ranger station for registration and briefing. At 0800, together with the ranger guides and – (optional a porter(s) at $ 20 each), you head for the forest to start on our adventure. The Ranger guides will guide through the bush pushing your way through the undergrowth, parting thick creepers, to track the gorillas. The trek can take from half an hour to 7 hours – a reasonable degree of fitness is required as well as a sturdy pair of walking shoes.

Once you are close to the group the guides will ask you to leave behind your bags as no food items should be carried close to the gorillas. Just take your cameras with you as you are about to meet the gentle giants! Sit in the forest amongst the gorillas, listening to them grumble to each other and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male; the silverback. It is an extraordinary feeling sitting in the dense rainforest knowing you are with a few of the last remaining mountain gorillas – sadly enough there are only about 650 of these beautiful creatures left. You are allowed exactly one hour with the gorillas before returning to the base station.
Return to the lodge, to relax and reflect on your experience and sharing pictures. Dinner and overnight.
