This is the last day of your trip, wake up early so that you are in time to attend the briefing session where experienced guides brief you on what to do and expect during the experience. After briefing, guides will accompany you through the thickets of Bwindi in search of gorillas, this experience can take about 2 to 3 hours depending on the location of your assigned gorilla family.

After trekking, you can head back to the starting point to receive your certificate of participation, then head back to Kigali for outbound flight.
