Join the Gorilla Doctors for an educational briefing on gorilla tracking and conservation. During the lecture, you will gain an understanding of the behavior and conservation of gorillas. Gorilla Doctors is a dedicated organization that strives to conserve wild mountain and eastern lowland gorillas through life-saving veterinary medicine and the One Health approach.
They are the only organization in the world that is committed to protecting the mountain and eastern lowland (Grauer’s) gorilla species, one gorilla patient at a time, through veterinary medicine and science, while focusing on the One Health approach. If you are interested in attending a gorilla conservation lecture, you can arrange it at the organization's headquarters or the Bwindi Lodge main lodge area and in the Dian Fossey Map room at Virunga Lodge.

Tracking chimpanzees in their natural habitat, as they swing from the branches in the canopy high above the forest floor is nothing short of exhilarating. The chimps effortlessly cross and scamper through the trees above the gorge, and visitors on the other hand must cross the river using natural bridges in order to keep up with the chimps. So although the walk usually lasts only 2–3 hours, descending the steep gorge and crossing the log bridges over the river requires some agility and fitness.
Chimpanzee tracking is also available in nearby Kalinzu, a forest reserve 30 minutes drive from Kyambura Gorge Lodge where there is a community of about 40 habituated chimpanzees.
