Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

After breakfast, with your packed lunch in hand, you'll head to the park headquarters for a briefing on gorilla trekking. Your guide will explain the dos and don’ts during your encounter with the mountain gorillas. After the briefing, you’ll be transferred to the starting point for your gorilla family trek. The allocation of gorilla families is based on your preferences, fitness level, and age—be sure to communicate your interests to your guide.
