Trekking with Uganda Gorillas – Batwa Pygmies visit
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park - The 3-day Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi begins with a briefing at 7:30 am by the Warden and his team of Rangers at the park offices. All gorilla trackers must be present for this briefing, which provides an overview of what to expect during the trek. Bwindi forest offers several gorilla groups to choose from, and the Rangers will consider your overall fitness level. While gorilla tracking is challenging, the experience of seeing these primates is incredibly rewarding. Watching a family of mountain gorillas, especially the playful and curious young ones, is a mesmerizing experience. It’s important to follow your guide’s instructions and avoid sudden movements while with the gorillas.
