After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, you will enter the gorilla sanctuary for your adventure. The rainforest is incredibly dense but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists.
Once you locate a gorilla group, you will be allowed an hour in their presence to observing these gentle and endangered giants is an awesome, exciting experience.
Return to your lodge where you have your lunch and thereafter check out for a transfer to Lake Bunyonyi, which is framed by lush, green-terraced hills that reach a height of 2,200 – 2,478m. Still, it’s the 29 islands of various shapes and sizes scattered across the water that make it utterly magical.
