Day 2: Spend the day in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
After an early morning breakfast, you will drive to the park headquarters for registration and join others for a gorilla trekking briefing to learn about the do's and the dont's during your gorilla trek.
After the briefing, you will trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with your guides to find the mountain gorillas, which can take you from half an hour to three hours. The steeply forested landscape is incredibly dense, but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. On your trek, you are likely to spot other primates, birds and rare tree species.
After finding the gorillas, you will be allowed to spend one hour with them before trekking back to the park headquarter. This is indeed an extraordinary feeling being with these beautiful yet endangered creatures. You will be awarded a certificate for participating in gorilla trekking and thus, contributing to the conservation of mountain gorillas.
