Day 4: Bwindi impenetrable forest (B, L, D)

After breakfast and briefing from your guide, storm the gorilla sanctuary. This incredibly dense and practically impenetrable forest is criss-crossed by animal trails, which allow access to tourists. The main activity in this park is gorilla trekking. As you slog your way, the time taken to encounter these gentle giants depends on the terrain and their movements. It therefore requires enduring physical stamina. And finally though exhausted, when you come face to face with these majestic primates you will feel exhilarated and the memory will last forever.
