Day 2: Go Gorilla Trekking and Batwa Visit
After a hearty breakfast, you’ll go to the park headquarters for the briefing of all about the Gorilla trekking guidelines. This will set the tone for a day you’ll never forget. You will go on a trip through the lush tropical rainforests with a single gorilla family as a group of eight. Since these gorillas are already habituated to humans, they will be less likely to change their habits if this is done. You will have a park ranger with the gun to walk with you as you through the hike. This person will keep you safe.
Because these big apes are always moving to find food, it could take anywhere from two to five hours to go hiking with them. You’ll have an hour to look at them and take pictures and videos once you’ve found them. When you get out of the bush, you’ll meet your driver, who will take you to the lodge. On a community walk in the evening, you can see traditional dance, food, and art while visiting Bakiga and Batwa homes.
