- Day 3 - Gorilla Trekking and Transfer to Queen Elizabeth National PaAt the UWA briefing point in Bwindi, the locals will entertain you where after each group will be assigned a gorilla family to trek for the day in the company of an armed ranger. Due to the close relationship between humans and these gentle giants, travellers showing signs of airborne diseases are discouraged from coming close to mountain gorillas or can be completely denied the chance of trekking if rangers find it more severe. You are advised to treat the flu and cough before travelling. The trekking experience takes between 1- 3 Hours and involves slippery trails. You may hire a local potter to help you during the trek with carrying luggage and gadget. Though tracking is the main attraction of the day, a range of stops can provide a relaxed opportunity to spot birds and monkeys while exploring one of Uganda's loveliest rainforests. After trekking, you will be awarded a certificate and Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Here you will see more hippos than you can possibly see anywhere else, along with herds of buffalo and elephants rushing to drink at gorge coastlines. Amazingly, the crocodiles in this region coexist peacefully with other creatures without preying on them. Later, return to the lodge for relaxation.
