Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi
After an early breakfast, you will proceed to the National Park headquarters to meet your ranger guides for the day. After completing our park formalities, we are embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime experience of tracking mountain Gorillas Once you spot them you are allowed to spend one hour watching with them. This is perhaps one of the most breathtaking wildlife experiences on earth!!! You get so close to these awesome giant primates. You stare at each other blankly not knowing who to break the long silence first. Tracking the Mountain Gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga is a magical experience. These massive primates are extremely rare, with less than 700 living today. You will get within seven meters of distance with them. The trekking may be fairly strenuous; up to six hours or longer at a relatively high altitude. We encourage your own enjoyment to make sure that you are perfectly fit and healthy.
