You will trek through thick creepers and undergrowth with your guides to find the Gorillas, which can take you 1-8 hours.

You will have one hour to stay amongst the Gorillas once sited and transfer to Lake Bunyonyi. The drive will be through a beautiful part of the country often referred to as ‘the Switzerland of Africa’ because of its unique cool weather despite being near the Equator.

It is the second deepest lake in Africa [900 meters deep] and also one of the few places in the country where it is considered safe to swim as it is bilharzias free.
