Following the briefing, you will be assigned a gorilla family to trek with a park guide who is knowledgeable about gorillas and familiar with jungle pathways.
Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park takes between 30 minutes and 7 hours, depending on where the gorillas are because they like to wander from one location to another in quest of food.

Once the gorillas are located, you will be allowed to spend one hour with them in their natural habitat, where you will be able to observe their daily activities such as feeding, breastfeeding, and playing, as well as take great photos and record breathtaking moments to show people back home.
