Itinerary
-
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
- Get picked up by your driver guide at 6:00 am after your early breakfast from your hotel in Kabale or Kisoro.
- Transfer to the mighty Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, whereby you will arrive at the park headquarters at the time of the briefing; after that, you will be grouped in a group of 8, though sometimes only 2 or 3 or 4 trackers may trek; this is based on the season, be advised to carry enough water for drinking as well as enough snacks or packed lunch since the trek is so strenuous and can take from one to eight hours depending on how these endangered giants move within the natural habitat.
- The park rangers will accompany you to the rainforest to begin your search for the mountain gorillas. Trekking can be tough sometimes, so one needs a walking stick and someone strong enough and physically fit. The trekkers should also carry raincoats and boots since the weather is unpredictable and changes. You will also need to use the porters to help you carry your luggage at the cost of $10.
- The moment you come eye to eye with the gorillas, your rangers will guide and show you how to handle and behave while with them, mainly by standing 6 meters away from the gorillas as you enjoy viewing them. It’s always hard to tell how long the trek will take since, in most cases, it depends on the movement and location of the gentle giants.
- After the trek, continue to the park headquarters and return to the road towards Kabale or Kisoro.
