During briefing, the park rangers inform trekkers of the dos and don’ts of Gorilla trekking. At this time, you are also allocated a Gorilla family to trek. Each group is trekked by 8 people in most cases depending on the hiking ability of an individual.

You get to the very dense tropical jungle of Bwindi forest for a lifetime adventure. Spend about 2-6 hours or more trekking/hiking/walking. However, a maximum 1 hour is spent in the presence of the Mountain Gorillas as individuals watch the family go about its daily life and take pictures.

After 1 hour (60 minutes) of watching the gorillas, you then walk back to the park headquarters. Here you receive a congratulatory Gorilla trekking certificate. Following the event, you drive to a hotel for late lunch and spend the evening at leisure.
