Day 2: Gorilla trekking and Batwa community visit.

Gorilla trekking starts very early in the morning at 8am with a simple briefing at the park headquarters form the local ranger guide. Then set off for the park headquarters with your packed lunch. At the station, be divided into groups of eight trekkers, a maximum number of trekkers allowed to visit a gorilla family per day.

Gorilla trekking takes about 1 to 6 hours of trekking into the impenetrable forest, depending on the movements of the apes or the sped of the trekkers. You will spend one magical hour in the presence of the apes, watching them carry on their daily lives as you learn about them.

In the evening after lunch and some relaxation, visit the Batwa community. This is a community for the forest pygmies who were the first inhabitants of the impenetrable forest before they were resettled outside the park. You will enjoy traditional performances as you get real up close with the local people. Return to the lodge in the evening to prepare for departure the following day.
