Actual Gorilla trek in Bwindi Forest
All gorilla trekking strictly starts with briefing early morning by 7:00 all tourists taking park 
in gorilla tracking that day must assemble at the park head offices for briefing from a head guide, who will give you a general introduction to gorilla trekking in Bwindi forest. The trek starts with your group of 8 tourists, guided by 2 trackers many of whom are reformed poachers, go ahead to locate the gorillas and stay in radio contact with the trackers who go into the forest earlier to locate the actual locations of the gorillas.
The trek takes you through thick forest of dirt routes as your tracker clears the vegetation with a machete to create a passable route for you through the thick vegetation cover and undergrowth. Mountain gorillas although habituated are still wild animals and they keep moving through the forest, but don’t move more than two kilometers a day.
Your guide will inform you as you get nearer the gorillas and you leave your bags and walking sticks behind with the porters and you go meet the gorillas
