The park is home to many animals such as Gazelle, Uganda Kob, Warthog and Waterbuck, and you may even catch a glimpse of a lion or two! To end off the day, you'll go on a game-drive in the park and then retire for the night at the lodge.

This morning after breakfast, you will be transported to the park headquarters for a briefing on gorilla tracking. From there, you will have the opportunity to come across one of Bwindi's endangered mountain gorillas.
Aside from gorilla species, the park also offers five other primate species, 113 mammals, over 200 different species of butterflies, and 360 avian varieties. Depending on the location, trekking could take anywhere between an hour and eight hours. Once the gorillas have been located, visitors will be allowed an hour with them at most. Standing in front of a mountain gorilla is a profoundly humbling and emotional experience.
