After your breakfast at the lodge, you will make the long drive down to Bwindi, stopping along the way for lunch and at the equator. The drive can be long but interesting as you pass through towns and villages alike watching people go about their daily lives, and the views aren't bad either especially the closer you get to Bwindi. Your lodge is in an excellent location, just outside the park and raised up to make the most of the spectacular view down the valley, over the dense jungle.

Day 3: Gorilla Tracking

After an early breakfast you will set off on the unforgettable experience that is Mountain Gorilla tracking. After trekking through the dense forest to where the Gorillas were found the day before, you begin your tracking, searching for the largest primate in the world. Upon sighting them, you will stay with them for one hour as they eat, rest and bond with their young.

Afterwards, you will spend the afternoon relaxing and taking in your beautiful surroundings.
