Today is the big day. Get up early morning to a sumptuous breakfast at the lodge after which shortly you will be transferred to the Magnificent Bwindi Impenatrable Forest National Park.
Here at the park gate where you’ll be briefed on the Gorilla trek by the Uganda Wildlife Authorities. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was declared a World Heritage site in 1994 because of its incredible biodiversity. This forest protects about half of the remaining 1050 Mountain Gorillas.
Once a trekking group encounters one of the gorilla families, only one hour is granted in the presence of the great apes before trekkers must leave, however reluctantly.
Be aware that the trek can be strenuous and may reach altitudes of almost 2,000 meters above sea level. Depending on weather conditions, some of the paths can be slippery and these paths themselves can change depending on the location of the gorillas. Therefore, it is extremely hard to predict how long you will need to walk for, but a good level of fitness is recommended for this trek. You can usually get remarkably close to the mountain gorillas, and seeing their movements is like seeing a mirror image of yourself. Trekking can take approximately less than 2hours to 7hours.
From a safe distance, watch them eat, sleep, groom, and play – the giant silverback surveying and guarding the scene. Enjoy a packed lunch in the wilderness.
The lodge will park for you lunch which you will enjoy later in the day as you trek Mountain Gorillas
This is the highlight experience for your safari in Uganda.
Optional Activities:
Cultural Experience by the Batwa Pygmies and Garama Cave
Depending on the time you finish trekking gorillas you can visit the Batwa and experience pure culture and ancient ways of life of the Batwa, a forest tribe of pygmies. They lived in Mgahinga National Park for over three centuries, a time during which they became a part of the forest and it became a part of them. This came to an end in 1991 when Government evicted them from the park to conserve its critically endangered mountain gorillas. During this tour, they will treat you to various survival adaptions they embraced while still residents in the forest to outlive extinction.
You will be amazed by their energetic dances, fire making and hunting skills as complimented using handmade weapons like spears. They will teach you how they used to build traditional tree houses using eco-friendly materials. This was usually done with the intent of avoiding beastly mammals that roamed the floor of the forest. Such include like forest buffaloes, mountain leopards and forest elephants.

Please Note
In case the mentioned lodges are not available during the requested period, we will do our best to book a lodge in the same class for you (of course we will only do this after consulting you). It is not possible to ‘reserve’ gorilla and chimpanzee permits so we will buy them only after your booking and down payment. Permits also depend on availability.
Disclaimer
Since Gorillas are wild animals Gorilla trekking doesn’t 100% guarantee you will see the gorillas although chances of seeing them are about 98%
All in all a great week. Jumanji Africa Safaris are a tour operator who take small groups on holidays that are primarily based on seeing gorillas, but also look to ensure that you enjoy a place as much as possible.
