BWINDI IMPENETRABLE FOREST NATIONAL PARKThe ancient rainforest is the home of roughly half of the world's mountain gorillas. Renowned for gorilla tours, this park is the most visited park in Uganda. Looking deep into the expressive brown eyes of the gentle giants on a gorilla tour is surely the most exciting wildlife encounter in Africa. This national park has 90 mammal species including 11 primates, and the prominent black and white colobus, with its lovely flowing white tail.
The forest birding ranks best in Uganda with 23 highly localized Albertine Rift endemic present. The activities include Gorilla tracking as the main attraction and permits must be booked in advance. Also available are guided forest walks, one popular trail leads to a pretty waterfall and others focus on birding and monkey viewing. Of Uganda’s forested reserves, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is best known for its superb gorilla tracking, but it also provides refuge to elephant, chimpanzee, monkeys and various small antelope, as well as 23 bird species restricted to the Albertine Rift. The third largest, forested park in Uganda,it shares a border with the Virunga national park in neighboring Congo,but,more importantly it offers some of the best opportunities for sightings of Mountain Gorillas and there is really no experience quite like it.Situated along the Great Rift valley Bwindi extends over a series of steep ridges,its massive rainforest almost impenetrable,its secretive interior providing the perfect habitat for over half of the word's gorrilla population.Other wildlife includes a large variety of primates,including chimpanzee,Blue monkey and Black & White colobus monkey,antelope and forest elephant as well as remarkably high number of bird species.Terrain varies from swamp and bamboo forest to dense thicket from the ankle up which makes up 90% of the park,thus making gorilla trekking work hard! However there is no doubt in my mind that this cathedral of vegetation is a magical place,the confines of which hold many sercrets. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a sanctuary for almost half the world's population of mountain gorillas (about 330 of 600), which is the rarest race of these primates.

Gorilla SafarisThe endangered mountain gorillas are almost exitinct with only 750 in number shared between Bwindi National Park, Parc de volcanoes National park of Rwanda and Virunga of Congo. Safaris to Uganda's remaining mountain gorillas in Bwindi NP is memorable experience that contribute greatly to the survival of these mountain gorillas.More information on the mountain gorillas  Tour Packages
