on the edge of the Western Rift Valley. Bwindi is home to over half
of the Mountain Gorillas in the world. There area more than 300 some
gorillas found here. Gorilla enthusiasts come to Uganda from every
corner of the globe for the Ultimate Ugandan Safari - Mountain Gorilla tracking (trekking)
at Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
The word
Bwindi means darkness and when you hike this fabulous forest you can know
why it is called that. You will also be able to quickly to tell why
the word Impenetrable is used here for this forest. One needs to be
reasonably physically fit to embark on this mountain gorilla tracking
(trekking) adventure since it can involve steep climbs
Besides
the endangered mountain gorillas there are 346 species of birds and over 200 species of butterflies
There are 324 tree species here, 10 of which are found nowhere else in Uganda.
This is truly a place to explore. Since there are limited Gorillas
here that have been habituated (meaning that they are used to people and
are not prone to attack), there is limited time to see them and permits
are presently priced at $500 a person. No one complains after having
spent some time with Mountain Gorillas of Uganda at Bwindi Impenetrable
Forest, one of the most beautiful rainforest you will ever see.
A Mountain Gorilla Tracking Safari at Bwindi Impenetrable
Forest is the highlight of any visit to Uganda and of course mountain
gorillas are the reason
so many people come to Uganda in the first place. Besides, Uganda
is known as a safe and secure country where you can view Gorillas in a
peaceful setting.
