Gorilla Tracking Experience

Breakfast early and head out for your gorilla tracking experience. You will walk through the densely forested hills where the Uganda mountain gorillas relax, camouflage by the vegetation. It is a truly inspiring moment when you finally meet these gentle giants playing, eating and lazing among the trees. Tracking in Bwindi requires stamina and can often take most of the day.
