Ivi River Trail (Buhoma–Nkuringo)
Ivi River Walk
A crossing trail linking Buhoma in the north with Nkuringo in the south, about 14 km through pristine rainforest. It is an in-depth forest experience for those who are not trekking to see gorillas.
The trail follows ancient forest paths through the park and crosses the Ivi River. Along the way you can see many primate species, butterflies, and birds. The full walk takes about 5 to 7 hours. Visitors often use it to switch sectors, with their luggage driven around by the driver to the accommodation at the other end. A ranger must lead the walk, and it must be booked in advance. The trail has many ups and downs, so it requires a reasonable level of fitness. Bring rain gear and lunch.
