Detailed itinerary of 1 day gorilla trekking uganda
Your driving guide will pick you up from your accommodation in either Kabale or Kisoro at 6:00 am, following your early breakfast. Proceed to the amazing Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where you will reach the park headquarters for a briefing. Afterwards, you will be assigned to a group of 8 individuals, although sometimes only 2, 3, or 4 trackers may participate, depending on the season. It is recommended that you bring an ample supply of water for drinking, as well as sufficient snacks or a packed lunch, as the trek can be physically demanding and can last anywhere from one to eight hours, depending on the movement of these endangered creatures within their natural habitat.
Park rangers will escort you to the rainforest to commence your quest for mountain gorillas. Trekking can be arduous at times, hence it is advisable to carry a walking stick. Additionally, it requires someone who possesses sufficient strength and physical fitness. Trekkers should bring raincoats and boots due to the capricious and volatile weather conditions. Additionally, you will require the assistance of porters to transport your bags, which will incur a fee of $10. Upon encountering the gorillas, your rangers will instruct and demonstrate the appropriate conduct and behavior in their presence, mostly by maintaining a distance of 6 meters while observing them. Estimating the duration of the expedition is challenging due to its reliance on the activity and whereabouts of the majestic creatures. Upon completing the hike, promptly proceed to the park headquarters and return to the road leading to Kabale or Kisoro.
