Day 2 of 3 days gorilla safari: Gorilla Trekking & Transfer to Lake Bunyonyi
After having a heavy early morning breakfast meal at your lodge, you will drive to the starting point of your trek. Depending on your location, your guide will try to get you to the briefing point in time. While getting briefed, you will learn about what you should do and what you should not do whilst gorilla trekking in Uganda. You should endeavor to be attentive and ask any questions if necessary. Gorillas are wild animals and have to be treated gently.
After this meeting, your adventure begins. Your group leader will take the right trail to your particular gorilla family. The whole journey takes between two to eight hours inclusive of a full hours encounter with these apes. While around the gorillas, you should maintain a 8 meters distance and avoid taking photos with flash lights on as it irritates gorillas and causes them to charge at people. When this magical hour elapses, you will then return to the starting point, proceed to the park headquarters to receive your respective gorilla trekking certificates, return to the lodge for check out and drive off to Lake Bunyonyi to relax.
