Bwindi National Park
Bwindi is possibly home to the planet’s last remaining tribes of the highly endangered mountain gorilla. The Bwindi Impenetrable National Park houses more than half of the world’s population. Sitting face to face with a 350 lb silverback is a once in a lifetime experience, and the highlight of every trip to Uganda. Trackers and rangers typically guide wildlife enthusiasts deep into the rainforest, up and down the steep and uneven terrain to meet resident gorilla families. With over 350 species of birds, these lush forests are also perfect for bird watching. Spot brilliant sunbirds, flycatchers and broadbills, as well as Uganda’s national bird, the grey crowned crane. Walk up to misty waterfalls in the impenetrable forest. Make the most of the region’s many hikes, trails and nature walks, taking in the white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, colorful butterflies, orchids and ferns. This spectacular region is also home to volcanic mountain ranges and crater lakes, like the Virunga Volcanoes and Lake Bunyonyi. Enjoy boat safaris around the lake, and visit local village communities of the Batwa and Buhoma people.
