Day 3: 1ST GORILLA TREKKING IN BWINDI IMPENETRABLE NATIONAL PARK

Early in the morning after breakfast, report to the park headquarters and get briefed about gorilla tracking in Bwindi impenetrable Forest. The Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest are part of a worldwide population of just 1000 individuals thriving within Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The guides will lead you into the forest and use their knowledge of the gorillas’ habits and information to locate the group’s whereabouts.

Because of this, the time taken to track the gorillas varies enormously, from as little as half an hour to as much as 8 hours before one returns to the starting point. Once the Gorillas are located, our group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. This is one of the world’s truly memorable experiences – a look into one of these magnificent creatures’ eyes brings home the bond that exists between them and us. It also brings home the poignant fact that they are on the edge of extinction and that our presence here contributes to ensuring their continued survival.

Trekking the mountain gorillas is an awesome inspiring experience and as you come across them in their forest surroundings all of the fatigue disappears! The Hour is often over all too quickly, and we slowly make our way back to the starting point for certificate awarding and later return to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow’s second activity
