glimpse of the magnificent silverback, any discomforts will be quickly forgotten. When sighted,
visitors will be guided to within 6 meters from the gorillas, sit around them for a whole hour while
gazing into their big round eyes.
Gorilla trekking is unpredictable. It’s difficult to foresee how many hours you will hike. The gorilla
excursion can take from 2 up to 8 hours. Expect to walk along distance in steep and
Muddy conditions, sometimes with rain overhead, before you encounter any gorillas. A good
physical condition is recommended. For conservation purposes, time spent with the gorillas is
limited to one hour. A ranger will brief you on how to behave with the gorillas.
While most of today’s forests are no more than 12,000 years old, Bwindi vegetation has been
weaving itself into tangles over at least 25,000 years, in the process accumulating a lengthy Species

types of mammal including 10 primates. The latter includes
