Will I track the same gorilla group both times?

No. We arrange permits for two different gorilla families, giving you a chance to observe contrasting behaviors, group dynamics, and forest regions within Bwindi.

Is there a rest day between the two gorilla treks?

No. Both treks take place on consecutive mornings (Day 2 and Day 3), with the afternoon of Day 2 reserved for a cultural walk and Day 3 for travel to Lake Bunyonyi.

Why is Lake Bunyonyi included in a gorilla trekking itinerary?

It is a peaceful and scenic reward after two days of trekking. The lake’s mild elevation and cool weather also help your body recover before the long return to Kampala.
