• Start your day with a hearty breakfast and head to the park headquarters for a briefing at 7:30 am. The briefing covers the rules, regulations, and other related information. By 8 am, you will be led into the forest by ranger guides in search of the gorillas from where they were last seen. This experience can involve extremely strenuous hiking, but it is worth it when you finally meet the gorillas.

In the evening, visit the Batwa community. The Batwa are an indigenous vulnerable group of people who once lived in the forest before eviction. During this encounter, you will learn more about their history, beliefs, and how they survived in the forest through storytelling and exhibitions.
