Tour Overview
Our 3-day Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Safari takes you to the misty Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, which is home to more than half the World’s population of 1004 remaining Mountain Gorillas. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest offers a unique birding opportunity, cultural experiences, a scenic allure of stunning hills and lush vegetation inhabited by a wide variety of primates. Bwindi Gorilla trekking is the most enchanting experience in this forest that will leave you with memories of a lifetime. You will visit a community of the Batwa people who used to live in the Bwindi forest before it was gazetted as a national park and be mesmerised by the stories of how they used to live in this forest as gatherers, hunters warriors and herbalists.
