Day 2: First Gorilla Trek in Buhoma Sector

Have early breakfast, meet your guide and head to the park headquarters for briefing about gorilla trekking. A senior guide from Uganda Wildlife Authority will take you through dos and don’t’s to follow on this amazing trek. In groups of 8 people headed by an armed ranger guide, head into the forests in Bwindi looking for mountain gorillas.

The trek through Bwindi Forest takes approximately 2-6 hours depending on the movement of mountain gorillas and where they spent their previous night, along the trek you will encounter other forest creatures such as elephants and monkeys. When you locate the gorilla family, you will be allowed one hour of being in the presence of mountain gorillas, observe them go on with their life in the forest, groom each other and peak fruits and leaves to eat. You are allowed to take pictures as long as your flash light is off, as it irritates the gorillas and might make them agitated.
