Gorilla Trekking Safaris

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is best known for mountain Gorilla populations and gorilla tracking activity, but it also provides refuge to elephant, chimpanzee, monkeys and various small antelope and bird species. If you book a Uganda safari without Gorilla trekking then you will have missed an opportuinity to see these rare and threatened gorillas. The variant biodiversity is supported by the fact that Bwindi is extremely old and also its slopes extend over a broad altitudinal range of 1447m above sea level, enabling habitats ranging from lowland forest to Afromontane vegetation that encourage life sustainability of these forest inhabitants.

With its slang “ The ultimate Gorilla experience” Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park  also offers some of the finest montane forest birding in Africa and is a key destination for any birder doing a Safari to Uganda. Amongst the numerous possibilities are no fewer than 23 of Uganda's 24 Albertine Rift endemics, including spectacular, globally threatened species such as Shelley's Crimson wing and the African Green Broadbill. Bwindi is one of the few in Africa to have flourished throughout the last Ice Age and it is home to roughly half of the world's mountain gorillas.

You can as well decide to combine your gorilla tracking activity with our prime wildlife safaris to see the rare tree climbing lions of Ishasha, pay visits to the magnificent Lake Bunyonyi in the near-by Kabale town, or enjoy the Batwa cultural experience to have an insight into the lifestyle of an indigenous less-tampered African tribe in the Bwindi forests.
