Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Gorilla Trekking)
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in southwestern Uganda. The park is world-famous for its mountain gorillas and is home to nearly half of the remaining population globally. Its ancient, mist-covered rainforest creates a breathtaking setting for unforgettable gorilla trekking experiences.

Beyond gorilla encounters, Bwindi boasts extraordinary biodiversity, with over 120 mammal species, 350 bird species, and more than 1,000 plant species. Visitors may spot chimpanzees, forest elephants, and several species of monkeys while exploring the park’s dense forest trails. The challenging terrain and rich ecosystems make every trek a rewarding adventure for nature lovers.

Bwindi can be visited year-round, but the best time for gorilla trekking is during the dry seasons, from June to September and December to February. During these months, forest trails are less muddy, making trekking easier and more comfortable. The rainy seasons (March–May and October–November) offer fewer visitors and lush scenery, but trekking can be more demanding due to slippery trails.
