Encountering the rare and endangered mountain gorillas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is an experience of a lifetime. In the company of an experienced park ranger, you will be tracking the whereabouts of one of the nine habituated family groups who reside here. Your tracking experience will be an exciting, yet challenging, journey along forested (often muddy and slippery) slopes, tangled vines, thick vegetation, and bamboo forests before you reach the territory of these gentle giants. En route, your ranger will point out telltale signs of previous gorilla activity, like dung, nests, and chewed bamboo shoots. Depending on the location of the gorillas, on any given day the walk can take anything from 2 to 7 hours. Once the family of gorillas has been located, you'll settle into your surroundings and enjoy the hour you have to quietly observe these fascinating primates.
