After breakfast set off early with guides to track the gorillas. The thrill of your encounter will erase the difficulties of the potentially strenuous trek. Bring jungle boots and rain jackets because the park is often wet. Spend time in awe watching the gorillas go about their activities. Each gorilla safari encounter is different and has its own rewards, but you are likely to enjoy the close view of adults feeding, grooming and resting as the youngsters frolic and swing from vines in a delightfully playful display.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a magnificent green swathe of dense rainforest, so ancient that survived the last ice age. A recently proclaimed World Heritage site, it鈥檚 one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth and its unique, precious flora sustains roughly half of the world population of mountain gorillas 鈥 believed to number just 720. There鈥檚 also a substantial chimpanzee population and research shows that Bwindi is the only forest in Africa in which these two apes live together.
