Safari Highlights
Mountain gorillas have been around for many centuries, but only one distinct tribe was familiar with these enormous creatures before they were found in 1902. With the world changing so quickly, it’s crucial to take a tour that supports this community and best explain the history of the now-famous gorilla trekking experience and how this old pygmy culture, whose primary means of survival was fruit harvesting for women and hunting for men, helped to safeguard them

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi NP & Boat trip on Lake Bunyonyi
After an early breakfast, depart with a packed lunch to the starting point of the gorilla trekking. On arrival at the UWA briefing point, a group of locals will entertain you whereafter each group will be assigned a gorilla family to trek for the day in the company of an armed ranger. Due to the close relationship between humans and these gentle giants, it has been found that most human diseases are easily contractable to these amazing creatures, therefore, humans with signs of airborne diseases are discouraged from coming close to mountain gorillas. Sometimes, they can be completely denied the chance of trekking if rangers find it more severe.
The trekking experience takes between 1- 3 hours and involves slippery paths during hikes. You can hire a porter to help you during the trek with the luggage, or if you feel too tired to walk any longer. After successful trekking, you will be awarded a certificate and drive to Lake Bunyonyi for relaxation
