Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

(gorilla tracking)

 

Introduction:

It is the richest forest in Uganda in terms of number of plant species. Also home to half of the population of the endangered mountain Gorillas in the world.Gazetted in 1991 with an area of 331sq km, 514km away from the capital Kampala covering parts of Rukungiri, Kisoro and Kabale districts in south western Ugandan districts.

 

Attractions:

This is the richest forest in Uganda with a number of plant species, as the area is one of the few large expanses of forest in East Africa where lowland and montane communities emerge.

 

The valley bottoms contain a dense ground cover of herbs, vines, shrubs, with only a few trees hence it's name " The Impenetrable Forest" This is one of the richest faunal communities in East Africa. There exists about one half of the world's population of the endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi forest. There are also several endangered species of birds with limited ranges.

 

Gorilla tracking begun on 1st April 1993. It is advisable to make your booking for gorilla tracking with us in advance. Atleast a few months before your intended date of visit. It commonly rains in this area. Come with a rain coat, walking boots and gloves.
