Day 3: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable forest
Eat breakfast, attend a briefing by park ranger guides, and then depart with picnic lunch boxes to start the trekking. The activity can last up to 4 hours or more to find the mountain gorillas as you hike up and down slippery slopes with dense mist-covered vegetation. Hence you will have packed lunch for this activity. This active quest will eventually bring you to the face of one of the most sought after creatures-the mountain gorillas.
Reach the mountain gorillas, and you will have a full hour with them while observing and learning their behaviour as you take photos.

Day 4: Lake Mburo National Park
Have breakfast early, and we go for a morning game drive in Lake Mburo National Park. This park is famous for zebras, impalas, giraffes, elands, cape buffalos and many tropical bird species.
