Frequently asked

Planning this itinerary

What can younger children (under 12) do while others trek chimpanzees?

A shorter, ranger-led nature walk near the lodge is arranged as an alternative activity for children below the tracking age minimum.

Is this itinerary less demanding than a gorilla-trekking route?

Yes, it's specifically designed to avoid Bwindi's more strenuous multi-hour forest treks.
