Day 2
Gorilla tracking and Batwa cultural experience
From the lodge, you'll drive to the park offices, where the head ranger will brief you and assign you to a tracking group. The gorillas you’ll be tracking belong to a habituated family that tolerates limited human presence each day. After the briefing, your guide will lead you to the starting point of your trek through dense forest, winding vines, thick undergrowth, and lush bamboo. The trek can take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, depending on the location of the gorilla family. Once located, you’ll spend up to one magical hour in their presence. This is a rare and unforgettable opportunity to observe these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Be sure to bring your camera, extra batteries, and binoculars to capture every moment. A resident ranger guide will share fascinating insights into the gorillas’ behavior and daily life. Enjoy this incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience deep in the heart of the jungle.
