Time To Trek The Gorillas
Start your day with an early breakfast followed by a safety briefing before setting off on your trek through the dense, misty jungle of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The trek can take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, depending on the location of the gorilla group. Once found, you’ll have a magical hour to observe them up close, marveling at their gentle behavior and human-like interactions. After the trek, return to Bwindi Lodge to freshen up and relax. Enjoy some leisure time before dinner and a peaceful night’s rest.
A more relaxed day awaits. Choose to explore Bwindi’s forest on a guided nature walk, either in the morning or afternoon. A private footpath from the lodge leads you directly into the heart of the dense, vibrant jungle.

"Wonderful Safari Experience"
My husband and I just finished this tour with Andrew Yaweh as our guide. We had an amazing experience. Saw so many animals and learned so much about Uganda from Andrew. The gorilla trekking was an unbelievable unique and rewarding experience to be so close to these amazing animals. Andrew was an expert driver and fun companion. He made sure we saw so many animals and special parts of this amazing country as well as engaging in great conversations!
