Gorilla tracking begins at 8:00am with a briefing at the park headquarters led by a local ranger guide. After the briefing, you will set off to the park with your packed lunch. At the headquarters, you will be divided into groups of eight trekkers, which is the maximum number allowed to visit a gorilla family each day. The trekking can last anywhere from 1 to 6 hours as you navigate the impenetrable forest, depending on the gorillas’ movements and the pace of the trekkers. Once you locate the gorilla family, you will spend one magical hour observing them in their natural habitat, learning about their behaviors and lifestyles as well as taking photos. After enjoying lunch and some relaxation, you will visit the Batwa community in the evening. The Batwa were the original inhabitants of the impenetrable forest before being resettled outside the park. During this visit, you will experience traditional lifestyles of the Batwa and engage closely with the local people.

Enjoy breakfast before leaving the lodge and starting your drive back to your hotel in Kampala where you started the trip from. This marks the end of your three-day trip to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
