Bwindi Impenetrable

Located in Southwest Uganda, this biodiverse national park is home to many of the world’s last remaining gorillas. The park is teeming with various tree species, making it the perfect sanctuary for them to live in. Covering around 32,000 hectares, the park is also home to endemic butterflies, antelopes, forest elephants and over 350 species of birds!

Seeing gorilla’s in the wild

Getting up close and personal to these majestic creatures truly is a once in a lifetime experience. Tracking them can take anything from one to six hours and once located you have one hour to watch them. The trek is not easy – you will need clothing that covers your arms, hands and ankles to protect from scratches from trees and a lot of the trek will be uphill. However, the moment the porter announces “we have found them!” will send tingles down your spine!
