Day 3: Gorilla Trekking Experience

In the early morning, you will be briefed on gorilla tracking at the park headquarters. Accompanied by a guide and your packed lunch, you will go in search of the gorillas in a small group. You walk through the forest, in good spirits you go uphill, sometimes you descend again and then climb up a slope again.

The duration of gorilla tracking is unpredictable from 3-6hrs and the walk can be quite strenuous due to the muddy trails and mountainous areas, but it is definitely worth it! For an hour you can spend time with these peaceful ‘Gentle Giants’ as they go about their daily activities of grooming, feeding, and playing.  

It is a once-in-a-lifetime memorable experience! Later head back to the trailhead and thereafter proceed to your accommodation for relaxation. Accommodation and Meals at Four Gorillas Lodge

Today, you will get to have an experience of the Batwa trail to learn about their day to day life of the first people who lived in the forest and spend time with the local community.

Learn as they guide you through the forest, dance, sing, and storytelling about their traditional ways of farming, handling the bow, gathering honey, and picking herbal medicine from roots and leaves a local way of treating the local people.
