Upon arrival, a lodge representative or safari guide will welcome you and transfer you to your accommodation. Spend the afternoon at leisure, enjoying the tranquillity of the rainforest, relaxing on your veranda, or taking an optional community walk.

This is the long awaited moment. After an early breakfast, head to the park headquarters for a briefing from the Uganda Wildlife Authority guides. You will be assigned a gorilla family and begin your trek through Bwindi’s thick vegetation and misty trails.
The trek can take between two to eight hours depending on the gorillas’ movement. Once you find them, spend a full magical hour observing their behaviour as they feed, play, groom, and interact within the forest. This intimate encounter is one of the most memorable wildlife experiences in the world.
Return to your lodge, enjoy a warm meal, and rest. The afternoon is free for relaxation, or you may opt for a massage or guided nature walk.
