Located in South-western Uganda, Bwindi impenetrable forest National Park is arguably the best place to see mountain gorillas. A UNESCO World heritage site, the park is called impenetrable because of the thick tree canopies found in the park that prevents sunlight from penetrating to the ground. There are 17 habituated gorilla groups in Bwindi which is the highest anywhere.
Take early morning breakfast, transfer to the park headquarters for a pre trekking briefing. You will take a hike into the jungle tracking for the allocated gorilla family. On meeting the gentle giants, spend an hour in their company, watch closely their human-like characters, take pictures, capture video’s and have a good time with the gentle giants in their native habitats.
