3-Day Uganda Gorilla adventure Safari.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, located in southwestern Uganda near the borders with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its exceptional biodiversity, including its endangered mountain gorilla population. Covering 331 square kilometers, Bwindi impenetrable national park boasts lush tropical rainforests, steep hills, and brooky narrow valleys. Its thick vegetation provides a habitat for various primates like chimpanzees, baboons, and monkeys, together with over 350 bird species and 200 butterfly species, among others.

Bwindi impenetrable national park’s significance lies in its ability to harbor approximately half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, making it a hub for gorilla trekking tourism, a practice carefully managed to ensure the sustainability of both the delicate ecosystem and the local communities’ livelihoods, such as the Batwa pygmies of Bwindi, and the Bakiga local communities.
