This is the D-Day for gorilla tracking! Have breakfast. The guide will drive you the ranger post and get briefed about gorilla tracking in Bwindi. After knowing the formalities of the adventure you are to embark on, enter the gorilla sanctuary and begin your expedition into the mountains.

A gorilla trek takes from a mere trek of just an hour to a full day hike given that your hike depends on the movement of the gorillas in their land! Most times, the gorilla trek takes about 5 hours. Upon meeting the mountain gorillas you have a full hour to watch the gorillas as they pay attention to their daily chores.

After meeting the great apes, retreat to the briefing point for your certificates that you are to carry back home as souvenirs and proof that you made it to the gorillas.

Return to the lodge. If you finished the hike early, you can take a nature walk or community tour.
