ACTIVITIES AT BWINDI LODGE
Stay at Bwindi Lodge and track the rare mountain gorillas in Uganda. Gorilla tracking is for most visitors a magical and once in a life time experience. Staring in the eyes of the gentle giant silverbacks of Bwindi is an experience that stays with you for a very long time. Gorilla trackers are allocated to gorilla groups/families in groups of 8 persons and are led into the mountains in search of the gorillas by experienced ranger guides. Once you locate the gorillas, you spend one magical hour with them, watching them play, feed and going about their daily lives. You are permitted to take still photos and videos as memories of your visit. Typically, gorilla treks take anything between 2hrs-8hrs depending on the gorilla group that you are trekking. You later return to Bwindi Lodge to reminisce about your day over a coffee/tea around the fireplace in the main lounge area of the main building.
