Your day begins with a briefing at 8:00 AM from the Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. Ensure you carry a rain jacket, long pants, drinking water, snacks, sunscreen, a hat, insect repellent, and good hiking shoes.

Enter the rainforest in search of the Mountain Gorillas in your assigned group. Gorilla trekking can take 2 to 8 hours, sometimes in wet conditions, but the encounter is one of the most extraordinary wildlife moments on earth.

If time allows after trekking, you will embark on a Batwa Community Visit, gaining insight into the lifestyle, traditions, and cultural heritage of the indigenous people who once lived in the forest.

Arrive at your residence or the Airport Guest House, where you can relax and reflect on your unforgettable gorilla adventure before your onward flight the next morning.
