Uganda Gorilla Trekking

The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a magnificent equatorial rainforest, most famous for the opportunity to go gorilla trekking. Bwindi National Park covers 330 km² of this rainforest and spans altitudes of 1,100 metres to 2,400 metres - a dramatic landscape of steep hills, narrow gorges and streams tumbling down waterfalls.

Additional Information

Gorilla Tracking in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is likely to be your main reason for visiting, and this experience is undoubtedly one of the premier wildlife highlights of any trip to Africa. Despite the beauty of the jungle and mountain scenery, it is the interaction with the Mountain Gorillas that will undoubtedly be the highlight of your tour. You will by guided by experienced trackers, who will give a safety briefing before heading into the forest. The track can take anything from 30 minutes to 6 hours so come prepared. But once you have experienced these wonderfully playful creatures, you will agree that it is more than worth every step.

Apart from gorilla trekking, there are a number of other hikes and trails within the park. As you travel along, accompanied by an experienced guide, you will learn about the animals, birds, butterflies, trees and plants in the forest. This is a great way to pass the time while you wait to encounter the gorillas.
