You'll start looking for the chimpanzees in the park at 8:00 a.m. These primates are the closest living cousins to humans, and 98% of their DNA is identical to human DNA.

This park, one of Africa's great rain forests, is home to the continent's largest chimpanzee population, with each community having between one and one hundred members and a complex social structure. The adult males in the group rule the group and defend the territory from other males from neighboring territories. Simply keep an ear out for the chimpanzees' pant hooting cries, and then move toward the area where they responded. Here, you may see them as they eat, play, and interact with one another.

Breakfast in the morning, then head to the park headquarters for a briefing on the dos and don'ts of Bwindi gorilla trekking. When you first begin looking for the gentle giants in the rain forest, the rangers will go with you. This walk occasionally requires a lot of strength, therefore it might be difficult. Because the weather is so variable, trekkers are usually encouraged to bring their rain coats and boots. There are also some potters who, for a nominal fee, are always willing to assist visitors with lugging their bags. The rangers will instruct you on how to handle the gorillas once you see them, notably by keeping a 6 meter distance from them as you watch them play.

How long gorilla tracking will take is never easy to forecast, and it also relies on where some families are since some of them are located far from the park headquarters.
