Gorilla tracking in Bwindi can be challenging therefore ensure physical fitness. It starts at 8:30a.m. local time and can last from a few hours to day depending on the movement of these giant apes.
THREE DAY'S GORILLA TOUR.
DAY 1. 5th June
Depart early morning from Kampala and head towards western Uganda. A brief stop at the Equator allows time for photographs. The journey affords images of herds of the long horned Ankole cattle, the rolling hills and terraced landscapes of the region, and beautiful panoramas that are part of Kabale District. We have a lunch break en route at Lake View Regency Hotel Mbarara. Drive direct to the park and arrive late evening. Overnight at Gorilla resort Camp or Buhoma Community bandas
DAY 2. 6th June
Very early you will have a briefing from the rangers and then after proceed to the forest for gorilla tracking. An encounter of these endangered primates with the silver backs is a worth while. You are advised to carry packed lunch because the time taken when tracking gorilla is unpredictable. After tracking proceed to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
DAY 3. 7th June
An early breakfast at the camp drive back to Kampala. Lunch en route.
