Travelers will encounter Gorillas in person to experience this life time memorable photo opportunity, take photos of the Gorillas as they play, eat and interact with each other. Wake early for a hearty breakfast to give you the energy needed for gorilla trekking. Before 8:00am, report to the ranger station for registration and a briefing by one of the rangers. The guides will then take you through the bush, pushing your way trough the undergrowth, to track the gorillas. (Please note this trek can take from 30 minutes to 5-6 hours). A reasonable degree of fitness is required, as well as a sturdy pair of walking shoes. Sit in the forest among the gorillas, listening to them ‘talk’ to one an other, and marvel at the sheer size the dominant male, the Silverback. It is an extraordinary feeling sitting in the dense rain forest knowing you are with a few of the last remaining mountain gorillas. It's amazing to think there are only about 650 of these beautiful creatures left. Permit fee $800

After breakfast you will have an encounter with the Batwa People, an indigenous tribe who live around Bwindi and who provide a vital service to the preservation of the ecology of Bwindi. You will interact with them, listen to their stories, music and dance. After which you will drive back to Entebbe or Kampala and stop at the Equator line for photos.
