Day 02: Gorilla Tracking experience and community walk

>> You will have a heavy breakfast early in the morning and with a packed lunch you will transfer to the park headquarters for briefing. Later on at 9:00 a.m., you will set off along the tracks in the thick forest to go search for these great apes. Depending on the movement of these humble giants the walk might take between 2-6 hours before you encounter the gorillas. The walk is tiresome however meeting these great apes and spending some time with them while looking deep into their expressive brown eyes, is an exhilarating and heartbreaking wildlife encounter that Africa has to offer. Return to the lodge for relaxation and visit the community where you will be able to meet the short people known as the pygmies (Batwa). Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay will be at Bakiga Lodge.
