This is a prime activity in Bwindi Impenetrable National park and here we can organise for you a gorilla tracking permit as well as transport and accomodation.
You can walk from the lodge and track Nkuringo Gorilla group and you easily drive to Rushaga which is the gorilla tracking starting point for 5 Gorilla groups of Nshongi, Mishaya, Kahungye, Bweza and Busingye.
