Day 5: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – Ishasha Sector, Uganda

The day has finally arrived!  A briefing from your ranger will prepare you for your trek in search of the gorilla group that has already been booked for you. There is no set length for the walk, but it usually takes between 30 minutes and 4 hours. If you’re lucky, you’ll come across the majestic beasts at the end of all the hard work, steep terrain, lush vegetation, and wet weather! As you follow them through the forest, you will observe their day-to-day activities at close quarters for one hour.  You will remember the memories forever.

The trek will be followed by a drive down to the plains of Ishasha, where we will reach your lodge in the evening after the trek is over.

Please note: It is not possible for you to visit if you are sick. Considering the close relationship between gorillas and humans, they can catch all our diseases, but may not be able to recover from them. We must ensure their safety. In order to complete this trek, you’ll need to be in good shape. Long trousers, a waterproof jacket, and good walking shoes are essentials. The camera you use must be able to turn off the flash so that you can take photographs. There’s nothing worse than walking near a 400lb gorilla who’s freaked out by flash photography.

Accommodation: Enjojo Lodge (or similar)
