Bwindi Impenetrable Forest national Park

A gorilla adventure safari in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest .Bwindi Forest is a magnificent verdant swathe across the steep ridges of the Albertine Rift Valley - one of the few in Africa to have flourished throughout the last Ice Age - is home to roughly half of the world's mountain gorillas.  The forest was proclaimed as the impenetrable in forest reserve in 1942 and its official name until 1991 where it was gazetted as a national park and named Bwindi. Tourism in Bwindi focuses on gorilla safaris. Slightly more than half of the world’s mountain gorilla population is resident in Bwindi, An estimated 280 -320 living in 15 troops. Looking deep into the expressive brown eyes of these gentle giants is surely the most exciting and poignant wildlife encounter that Africa has to offer – however we should not let it distract from Bwindi's broader biodiversity, a result of its immense antiquity and an altitude span from 1,160 to 2,607m. Thhis ancient rainforest has 90 mammal species, including 11 primates, of which the Black and White Colobus, with its lovely flowing white tail, is prominent. Forest birding here ranks with the best in Uganda, with 23 highly localised Albertine Rift endemics present.
