Gorilla Tracking: An Incredible Experience

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park - Following an early morning breakfast, the group departs with a picnic lunch for a brief drive to the park offices, where local guides and trackers provide a briefing on gorilla trekking etiquette. The hike begins in the forest at the last known location of the gorillas. The terrain is rugged and muddy, requiring good physical fitness. Despite the challenging hike, the forest’s beauty and surrounding scenery make it rewarding. It’s important to bring plenty of water for the trek. Cameras and high-speed film are suggested. As it is a tropical rainforest, rain can occur unexpectedly, so waterproof clothing, including zip-lock bags for cameras and film, is crucial. Other recommended items include sturdy hiking boots, long pants, gloves, and a raincoat. The maximum time allowed with the gorillas is one hour.

Enjoy lunch along the way and make stops at the equator line and the Igongo Cultural Center. Arrival at Entebbe International Airport will be late in the evening.
