Tracking commences every morning from the park headquarters at 0830 hours, but clients should depart their lodgings at 0600 hours, arriving at the respective parks ready for a detailed briefing from the guides on gorilla etiquette. Gorilla tracking is a year-round activity, irrespective of season. The rain forest is moist, and it rains very often in Bwindi, even in the dry season. Porters are available to carry clients’ belongings. Bwindi is rich in other primates, including chimpanzee and blue monkey. Butterflies are the most conspicuous of the rich insect fauna of the park, with more than 200 species. Return via Lake Bunyonyi to relax and unwind in this deepest lake on Uganda’s soil; this is necessary to break from the few previous days of heavy activity, driving and trekking.
