About This Safari
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in southwestern Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley. Its mist-covered hillsides are blanketed by one of Uganda’s oldest and most biologically diverse rainforests, which dates back over 25,000 years and contains almost 400 species of plants. More famously, this “impenetrable forest” also protects an estimated 400 mountain gorillas, roughly half of the world’s population, including several habituated groups, which can be tracked.

Set off to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Wake up to the beautiful sounds of birds and have early morning breakfast. Proceed for Gorilla Trekking. The Gorilla trekking Adventure begins today, you will meet Uganda’s gentle giant! For most people this is the absolute highlight of their tour in Uganda. The gorillas you track belong to one of nine habituated family groups who can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. An Advance party of guides will have already gone into the forest to locate where the gorillas slept the previous night and will have begun to track their movements. The guides will communicate with your team through a park ranger who will then know which way to proceed. Locating the Gorilla can take a few hours or the whole day depending on how far they have moved from their resting place. For conservation purposes you are allowed to spend 1 hour with the Gorillas. This experience will bring you an opportunity to exploit, discover and enjoy this memorable experience. Once you have completed the Trek you will return to the Lodge for a well earned rest. These giants live in the dense tropical rainforest of Bwindi, and your trek will be spiced with sights and sounds of birds, colourful plants and flowers, other primates and fresh flowing rivers and streams.
