 Wake Up early and have breakfast. You will be transferred to the briefing point inside the park to learn about how to behave and interact with the gorillas in the wild. Your driver guide will drop off at the briefing place for the gorilla trekking. The ranger guide will then lead you to start your gorilla trek in the park. After hiking some distance depending on the location of the gorillas, you will sight them and spend up to 1 hour with them before you start your descent back to the briefing point and later your lodge. The experience in this jungle and meeting these enormous creatures will stay with you for life. Return to the lodge, refresh and if it is still in time, visit the batwa community and engage in their culture.

Wake up early in the morning and have a heavy breakfast. Your driver guide will take you to the park headquarters where you will meet the ranger guides that will lead you through the hike. Mgahinga Gorilla national park has 3 volcanoes of Muhabura, Sabinyo and Gahinga. Mt Gahinga which is 3474 metres above sea level or 11,400 feet offers a gentler hike through the bamboo forest and marshy craters at the peak, Mt Muhabura – 4127 metres above sea level or 13540 feet is the most challenging peak in the park. The hike will take most of the day, but the adventurous are rewarded with great sense of accomplishment and – on a good day – spectacular views of Uganda, Rwanda and DR Congo, Mt Sabyinyo – 3674 metres above sea level or 12050 feet is the most dramatic climb. At some point you will depend entirely on the wooden stairs up the steep slopes and therefore you will let go of the climbing sticks. On arrival at the peak you will successfully be in all the 3 countries at ago i.e. Uganda, Rwanda and DR Congo. It will take you a whole day and after return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
