The Gorilla Trekking Adventure

The gratifying experience of gorilla trekking in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park involves making your way through the dense, impenetrable jungle in pursuit of the endangered mountain gorilla. Even if you do not see any gorillas.

After breakfast today, your driver guide will take you to the starting location for the gorilla trek, where you will receive a briefing from the park ranger guide about how to get ready for the gorilla walk. In the beginning, your ranger guide will take you along well-maintained trails, but before long, he will take you off the beaten path and into the thickets, where he will use the bicycle he has brought along to clear a passage through the underbrush. It will not be long before you may see these massive beasts.

Transfer To The Queen Elizabeth Park

While on a game drive with a guide, you can hear more about the various hypotheses concerning this phenomenon.
