After an early breakfast, depart to the park headquarters and proceed for a briefing from park ranger guides at 7.30 before starting your gorilla trek at 8.00am through steeply forested and beautiful landscape along several animal trails. Some of the terrain is steep and strenuous, but the reward of watching gorillas undisturbed in their natural habitat is unmatched.
Waterproof ankle shoes are recommended, or good athletic shoes. Wear thick long pants (not lightweight khakis) to protect your legs from the underbrush. Bring heavy, long socks that can be pulled up over the pants to prevent any problems with stinging nettles and ants. Bring a pair of sturdy gardening gloves and protect your camera with a rain cover (a plastic bag or shower cap can work!).
No more than eight people may visit any gorilla family on any given day, so you can be assured of an intimate experience with these impressive animals. Once you reach the gorillas, you have an unforgettable hour to spend with them.
After the trek, you will return to the lodge for lunch. This afternoon, you will be taken on a village walk to Bwindi villages subject to time and interest. This is a great opportunity to meet the people surrounding Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. It also is a unique way to support the local community.
