This 4-day Gorilla and Chimpanzee Tour will offer you an exciting adventure experience with the mountain Gorillas. First, we register for the Gorilla trekking, and then we enter the forest as early as 8 am. With advice from the Rangers, we follow the tracks of the Gorillas until we see them. The weather may be good or bad, but that should not worry you. After all, Gorilla trekking is an adventure in the jungle. The Gorillas have very interesting cultures that, at times, make it complicated to find them. They do not follow specific trails and do not walk in a straight line. However, their sources of food determine their movements. When we find them, we spend an hour observing and photographing them. Bwindi is one of the oldest and biggest rainforests in Uganda. Forest elephants, chimpanzees, and endemic birds inhabit the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
