Bwindi Impenetrable NP

Gorilla Experience
One of Africa's oldest forests being one of few that predate the arid conditions of the last ice age -the 325km2 Bwindi Impenetrable has carpeted the margin of the Albertine Rift Valley for some 25,000 year. During this time it has accumulated a remarkable biodiversity.species counts include 350 bird,310 butterflies,200 trees,51 reptiles,88 moths and 120 mammals the latter includes several primates, among them Chimpanzees, L' Hoest's monkey, and the star of the lmpenetrable show: the Mountain Gorilla. The global population of this endangered ape numbers just 88, half of which live in Bwindi and the remainder on the nearby virunga volcanoes. With 15 groups, habituated for tourism, and with 4 trailhead,the lmpenetrable is the region's primary Gorilla tracking destination.Eight permits are available each day to track each of these 15 group,giving a daily total of 120 permits.
There is much more to Bwindi than gorilla tracking. Forest trails lead to scenic waterfalls and rift valley viewpoints trails while community walks through local villages provide insights into the Lives of the bakiga and batwa (pygmy) people's living beside the Forest .Bwindi is one of Uganda' top birdwatching destinations with many Albertine Rift endemics present, notably in the high, draught Ruhija sector
