DAY 3: GORILLA TREKKING DAY
On this third day, we rise early for breakfast, before the gorilla trek briefing at 8:00 am by rangers at the headquarters. We then set off for our African Mountain Gorilla Trekking adventure. Gorilla trekking is the highlight of visiting Uganda and one of the most memorable wildlife experiences in Africa. Embarking on this once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounter we will view the highly endangered mountain gorillas in the wild. The guides lead you into the bush, pushing through the undergrowth to track the Bwindi gorillas. This gorilla walk can take up 2 to 6 hours, so a reasonable degree of fitness and a sturdy pair of walking shoes are a must, rain jacket, water etc. don’t leave food stuffs in the forest as a way doing wildlife conservation.
After our rewarding trek through the jungle, we sit in the forest among the gentle mountain gorillas, listening to them communicating with one another and watching them interact. After lunch in the forest, we take a well-deserved rest or enjoy some bird watching. Then we return to our lodge to relax and recuperate after our unforgettable gorilla trek in the Bwindi Forest of Uganda.
At the end of the day, we have dinner and unwind at our accommodation.
