You are expected to arrive a night before you start your 3-day ultimate gorilla safari and lake Bunyonyi activity or have an early morning landing. Our guide will pick you and depart for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Encounter the gorillas firsthand on your trekking expedition. With an arduous day of trekking, it would be ideal to find a better place for relaxation. That place will certainly be Lake Bunyonyi (place of little birds). You will transfer to Lake Bunyonyi after gorilla Trekking. Enjoy a swim in the undoubtedly loveliest lake in Uganda.

Day 2 Gorilla tracking and Lake Bunyonyi
After an early breakfast and a briefing by a ranger guide, you will enter the gorilla sanctuary for your adventure. The beauty of this rain forest is spectacular! The area offers dramatic steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense, but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The time taken and the terrain vary with the movements of these great primates. Once you locate a gorilla group, you will be allowed an hour in their presence. The thrill of spending time observing these gentle and endangered giants is an awesome, exciting experience to be long savored.
Return to your lodge. Have your lunch and thereafter check out for a transfer to Lake Bunyonyi. Lake Bunyonyi is framed by lush, green-terraced hills that reach a height of (2,200 – 2,478m)and its contorted shore which encircles 29 islands of various shapes and sizes scattered across the water that make it most magical — you could admire them all day.
