3 Days Gorilla Tracking Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Safari Overview

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park offers an exhilarating encounter with the gentle giants - mountain gorillas and a true African jungle experience. The forest dense cover of vines and shrubs makes it look mysterious and awe-inspiring.

The park alongside Mgahinga National Park is among the only four game parks in the entire world that are a habitat to these great apes. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is more favored for Gorilla tracking in Uganda for it has more groups of habituated gorillas (ten groups) than Mgahinga National Park (one group).

Gorilla Habituation is a sophisticated process through which groups/families of gorillas are made tolerant to the presence of humans. These habituated gorilla groups have not fully lost their wildness though. They only allow a limited number of people (8 people) to interact with them for utmost one hour in a day

This 3 Days Bwindi Impenetrable National Gorilla Trekking Safari package is designed to give you that once in a lifetime exhilarating encounter with the gentle giants while giving you a true African jungle experience.

Safari Highlights
