After breakfast, we prepare for our gorilla tracking adventure which begins at 8:00am with a briefing at the information center by the Uganda Wildlife Authority staff. We will then be guided into the jungle to track the shy primates.

Gorilla trekking may take 3 to 7 hours but it is well worth the effort. Once you get sight of the gorillas, you have an hour to admire, observe and take photos of them. It’s advisable to bring along a rain jacket and hiking boots. 

At the end of this long and exciting adventure, return to the lodge for a well-deserved shower. Have your lunch and thereafter you will head out for a community walk where you will visit the Batwa, which is an Indigenous group of people that have lived in the forest for 500,000 years, enjoy traditional dances and drama from them.

Dinner and overnight at Gorilla Friends lodge

Please note that, covid-19 test will be taken on this day.

The day begins with a delightful breakfast after which we return to the mainland and prepare to drive back to Entebbe. We make a lunch stop at Mbarara and proceed to Kampala making another stop at the Equator in Masaka, see where this imaginary line divides our planet into two equal hemispheres. Snacks, souvenirs and photographs may be taken here.   

Arrive in Kampala later that evening and transferred to Entebbe for your departure flight.
