Step-by-Step Guide to a Gorilla Trekking Day in Nkuringo Sector

Gorilla trekking is one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife experiences, and the Nkuringo Sector of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park offers one of the most scenic and rewarding adventures in Uganda.

A typical day starts with a briefing at the sector headquarters. Rangers allocate a habituated family. You hike with trackers and optional porters — we recommend a porter for every guest. When you reach the family you have one hour. No flash photography. The walk out can be as steep as the walk in, so an extra night nearby at Lake Bunyonyi is a kind way to end the day.
