Day 2
Day to Trek & Track Gorillas
Wake up to the hissing, whizzing, and hooting sounds of the dense Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Pack lunch, water, and emergency supplies, and follow your allocated ranger guide to the gorilla sanctuary. Trekking/tracking gorillas is a vigorous activity as tourists explore the abundant flora and fauna of the Bwindi forest. Conformity to the park rules is vital and maximum silence is crucial for you to listen to the rhythms of nature. As you approach gorillas maintain maximum calmness and exploit every moment of the strictly allocated one hour in the presence of the gentle great apes. With great memories of the wonders of nature, trek back to the staging area and join your driver back to your lodge.
