Day 2: Gorilla hiking in Bwindi and departure for Kigali.

After an early breakfast on the second day of your 2-day Uganda gorilla trekking safari from Kigali, you will carry your packed lunch and meet your driver guide to proceed to the park headquarters for a gorilla trekking briefing.

Following the briefing, you will begin trekking through the jungle with an expert park guide, which will take between 30 minutes and 6 hours depending on where the gorillas are found, as they tend to travel from one location to another in quest of food.

After one hour with the mountain gorillas, you will return to the starting site, where you will be handed a certificate for participating in gorilla trekking, before meeting up with your driver guide and beginning your journey back to Kigali.
