After breakfast set off early with your
guide for gorilla tracking. The thrill of
your encounter will erase the difficulties
of the potentially strenuous trek.
Bring jungle boots and rain jackets because
the park is often wet. Spend time in awe
watching the gorillas go about their
activities. Each encounter is different and
has its own rewards, but you are likely to
enjoy the close view of adults feeding,
grooming and resting as the youngsters
frolic and swing from vines in a
delightfully playful display.

encounter with friends over a drink. Dinner
and over night at Buhoma Homestead / Gorilla
Resort (up market) or Buhoma Community Rest
