Rise early and enjoy a nourishing breakfast before heading to the park headquarters for an orientation. Here, you’ll receive a briefing from expert guides and be assigned to a specific gorilla family for the day. Accompanied by rangers, you’ll embark on a trek through Bwindi’s dense rainforest, an adventure that may take 2 to 6 hours depending on the gorillas’ location.

Once you locate the gorilla family, you’ll have the extraordinary privilege of spending up to one hour observing them in their natural habitat. Watch as they interact, feed, and care for each other in a setting that feels untouched by time. It’s a magical experience, one that offers unmatched opportunities for photography and connection with nature.

After the trek, return to your lodge for a well-deserved lunch and some relaxation. For those with energy to spare, optional activities include a guided nature walk, a visit to the villages to learn about the community and its culture, or a rejuvenating spa treatment. In the evening, enjoy a farewell dinner as you reflect on your incredible encounter with the gorillas.

After breakfast, you’ll transfer back to Kihihi Airstrip for your domestic flight to Entebbe. Depending on the timing of your onward journey, you may wish to enjoy an optional Cheese and Wine Sunset Cruise on Lake Victoria.

From Entebbe, you’ll connect to your international flight or continue on to your next destination, leaving Uganda with unforgettable memories of your gorilla trekking adventure.
