A fantastic alternative destination to go gorilla trekking, set in one of the world’s oldest forests.
Settled along the edge of the Great Rift Valley, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the only places where travellers can witness endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. About half the world’s population of these magnificent creatures call this ancient, mist-coated forest their home, along with hundreds of different ferns, trees, birds and butterflies.
There are endless ways to explore the park and its surrounding areas, from guided hikes, to cycling tours, not to mention excellent community tours and village walks. The park is also a great access point to other parts of the Uganda highlands and lakes.
In addition to its natural wonders, Bwindi also boasts a range of lodges, to serve as the perfect point to recoup after an exciting day out trekking. A visit to Bwindi is undeniably a great addition to a classic East African safari to Kenya or Tanzania.
