Day 3 - Bwindi National Park

This land of verdant forest and steep mountain ridges is home to around half of the world’s mountain gorillas. The trek can last up to six hours and reach elevations of up to 7500 feet but the reward of seeing a wild gorilla family in their natural habitat ranks as one of the great wildlife experiences in the world.
After spending an hour with them, return to your lodge for dinner.
