Day 2: Gorilla trekking

After an early breakfast, head to the park headquarters where you will have an orientation and meet your guides. You will be led by an experienced ranger who will tell you interesting facts about flora and fauna and also the lifestyle of these endangered species. The gorilla location will determine how much time the trekking will take and after you locate them, you will be allowed to spend only one hour observing, spending time with, and photographing these gentle, peaceful, and shy gorillas. This safari in Uganda is a once-in-a-lifetime unique, breathtaking, inspiring, and memorable adventure. However, if you are trekking the gorillas, you must maintain a distance of 7 meters, keep the voices low, and follow your guide’s instructions closely. Cover your body by wearing long trousers, and long-sleeved shirts to avoid insects, wear comfortable hiking shoes suitable for steep muddy slopes, and also carry rain gear as the weather is unpredictable. Later you will return to the lodge for your late lunch and relaxation.
