Day 2 · Gorilla trekking and experience the amazing Batwa culture

  1. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

    Wake up to an energizing cup of Coffee; go to the park headquarters for registration and pre trekking briefing by experienced park rangers. The ranger guides will narrate to you about the life of these gorillas and then assign a maximum of eight people to a gorilla group for tracking. The trekking exercise is done on foot deep in the jungle, as the ranger guide follows where the apes were last seen the previous day and then through the hilly terrain and lush plants. The search exposes one to a variety of plants, birds, and primates.

    Depending on how far the apes have moved and your pace; tracking the gorillas may last for over 1-7 hours, plus an additional hour of photography, making inquiries and watching poses of the gentle silverback. Thereafter have a Lunch Break; followed by a visit to Batwa pygmies; one of the shortest people in the world and former hunters and gatherers in the Bwindi jungle.
