The tracking may take between 2 to 6 hours depending on the movement of the Gorilla families, with a Park Guide who will interpret the flora and fauna and the lifestyle of the Gorillas. After tracking, your guide will drive you to the scenic and serene environment of Lake Bunyonyi, the third deepest lake in the world where dinner and a comfortable bed will be waiting for you at accommodation of your choice

Important :-

Please note that gorilla tracking in uganda and rwanda is dependant on the availability of tracking permits at the time of your booking. Gorilla permits in all parks are on very high demand and we advise that you book them as early as possible.

However, should permits not be readily available for Bwindi, it is possible to track on the other side of the rain forest, at Rushaaga, only 7 kms from Kisoro town in Nkuringo, or in Rwanda across the border.
