Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Steep, misty rainforest and the mountain gorillas that live in it. An hour with a gorilla family is the moment most people remember.

Good for
mountain gorillas

Bwindi is steep, old rainforest on the hills of southwest Uganda, and home to mountain gorillas. We walk in with rangers and trackers to find a gorilla family that is used to people, then spend an hour with them.

The trails are steep and often muddy, and how long the walk takes depends on where the gorillas are that day. Gorilla permits are limited and sell out months ahead, so tell me early and I will plan the trip around the permit date.
