You will be picked up by your driver guide at 4:00 am for your 1 Day Gorilla Trekking Uganda after your early breakfast from your hotel in Kigali and be transferred to Kisoro or Kabale, traveling for about 3-4 hours, expect to be on time for the 1 Day Gorilla Trekking Uganda briefing on the does and donts as well as what to expect while trekking, thereafter you will be grouped in a group of 8, though some times only 2 or 3 or 4 trackers may trek; this is based on the season. We, however, advise that you carry enough water for drinking as well as enough energy snacks (Optional: packed lunch) since gorilla trekking in Uganda is so strenuous and can take from 1-7 hours depending on previous gorilla movements in their habitats.

Accompanied by the trained guides, your 1 Day Gorilla Trekking Uganda begins. Gorilla Trekking can be tough some times, so one may need a walking stick. It also needs someone who is strong enough and physically fit. The trekkers should also carry raincoats and boots since the weather is unpredictable in Bwindi impenetrable forest. The moment you encounter the mountain gorillas, your rangers will guide and show you how to handle and behave while with them, mainly by standing 6 meters away from the gorillas as you enjoy viewing them.

Immediately, after the trek, continue to the park headquarters for your gorilla tracking certificates, and get back to the road towards Kabale or Kisoro where you will proceed with the journey crossing over to Rwanda’s Kigali through the Chanika or Katuna border to mark the end of your 1 Day Gorilla Trekking Uganda.
