Best known for its Mountain Gorillas the Montane Forest also attracts spectacular birds. There are 23 of the 24 Albertine Rift endemics including the African Green Broadbill, Bar Tailed Trogon and other beautiful forest species.

Day 3
Head straight for Gorilla tracking in the dense rain forest. Depending on the movements of the Gorillas, walking varies from 20 minutes to a whole day. The exercise requires enough energy to go up and down the mountains including steep slopes. The activity is very captivating and perhaps one of the most exciting wildlife experiences remember there are only 650 left in the world! It involves walking in the wilderness in search of these great apes. It can be a challenging activity therefore physical fitness is an advantage. It is an inspiring and wonderful adventure. Spend the night at the lodge.
