Famous for its ultimate gorilla experience, this park is home to half of the world’s mountain gorillas – roughly 459 in total. Bwindi Impenetrable national park sits in the Southwestern part of Uganda along the Albertine rift valley and on the border with DRC.
It has a hilly terrain covered with tropical rainforest, which along with this park’s closeness to the equator, causes it to have a wet climate throughout the year as it receives lots of rain, although it tends to rain less in June and July. It’s therefore advisable to come with waterproof clothes and hiking boots to track gorillas in Bwindi.
Tracking gorillas in Bwindi’s rainforest is an exciting lifetime adventure that can have you trudging up and down hilly terrains and across streams to find the endangered primates. This expedition may take an hour if you’re lucky or even last up to 8 hours, depending on where the gorillas are camping.
