Day 3&4 Buhoma Lodge, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest GORILLA TRACKING

Today heralds one of the most rewarding and humbling wildlife activities – gorilla tracking and coming face to face with one of the intelligent and gentle giants is something words cannot aptly describe and it certainly worth the hike to get there. An hour is spent among the group as you watch the family group feed, relax or observe the youngsters playing  or running around – like most youngsters, their energy seems boundless. Led by the male silverback, their power and size is daunting and really are gentle giants.  On day 4 there is the option for a second visit or perhaps explore the Bwindi area on forest walks,visit local communities or the Batwa pygmy village. Sightings are not guaranteed (though are 95%) and the hike can be strenuous but it is a truly rewarding and memorable day.
