Day 2 The day of Ruhija gorilla tracking!

6:00 am You will travel by car from the lodge to your briefing area in Ruhija. On arrival, you will attend a briefing (7:30 am) and at 8.30 am you will start the tracking by way of walking into the forest. We can not determine how long the walk will be since it depends entirely on the way the mountain gorillas will move looking for food. Once you have found the gorillas, you will be able to spend up to one hour with them! You will be expected back to the starting point by 7:00 pm at the latest. Being physically fit is recommended.

Luxury Accommodation: - RUHIJA Gorilla Lodge or Gorilla Mist Lodge

Early in the morning after breakfast, you will travel back to Kampala. On the way back to the city you will have lunch in Mbarara town, and after Masaka, there will be an opportunity to stop at the Equator for photo shoots and buying souvenirs and have tea or coffee.
