Day 5: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

After breakfast, transfer to the park Headquarters in which you will be briefed about gorilla trekking.

Bwindi National Park is renowned for its impressive mountain gorillas, although it is unpredictable how long you will track before finding them, since it all depends on their movement.

You will set out with a packed lunch and enough drinking water, and you are advised to wear strong, comfortable boots plus a light rain-jacket since the weather in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is highly unpredictable.

You will be provided with walking sticks by the park rangers. Visitors are allowed to spend only one hour with the gorillas for the purpose of conservation.

The ranger guide will brief you on how to conduct yourself while in the presence of the gentle giants.

In the evening, proceed to the village for a cultural walk to interact with the local people and participate in captivating traditional performances.
