Bwindi Impenetrable forest is a home to half the total population of Mountain Gorillas who are highly endangered. You can have close encounters with them during your African safari to the Bwindi Impenetrable forest in Uganda. During your African safari trip to this forest, you will have the first hand unique experience of one of the most emotional wildlife encounters.
The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a huge pocket of ancient forest belt in the Virunga Mountain range. It is also one of the most biologically diverse areas on the earth’s surface. Its eco-system is one that describes the complete spirit of the entire continent. For this reason, this forest has been given the designation of World Heritage Site.
Besides the Gorillas you can also spot other animals like the chimpanzees, red colobus and blue monkeys, black and white colobus, grey-cheeked mangabey and L'Hoest's monkey to name a few. You will also encounter elephants, small antelopes and also huge forest hogs. In this forest you will also find a wide range of floras.
The best time for gorilla trekking is during the dry season, i.e, during the months of January, February and also the months from June to September. Even during the dry months, occasional afternoon thunderstorms occur.
As you trek up and down the slopes in search of the gorillas, be careful, as the damp forest floor laden with leaves, tangled vegetation and fallen vines remain ready to trip you.
