You’ll embark on a scenic journey to the Ruhija sector of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Upon arrival, you’ll join fellow trekkers for a detailed briefing by experienced rangers, complemented by lively cultural entertainment. After the briefing, you’ll be assigned a gorilla family to track. Accompanied by rangers and trackers, you’ll head into the jungle, equipped with a packed lunch and water to sustain you during the trek. The trek can take between 2 and 8 hours, depending on the gorillas' movements. Once you locate the gorilla family, you’ll spend an awe-inspiring hour observing them in their natural habitat.
