Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is situated on the edge of the Albertine Rift Valley in southwestern Uganda, featuring a significant altitude range from 1,160m to 2,600m. This park is one of only three locations (alongside the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda) where the rare and critically endangered Mountain Gorillas can be found. Since the identification of the mountain gorilla subspecies in 1902, its population has faced numerous challenges, including war, hunting, habitat loss, and disease; threats so dire that it was once believed the species could become extinct by the close of the twentieth century.

Additionally, it is one of Uganda’s oldest parks, with origins tracing back to the Ice Ages, and is ecologically the most diverse, boasting nearly 400 plant species and 350 bird species, including 23 endemics of the Albertine Rift. The mammal species found here include the red-tailed chimpanzee, L’Hoest’s monkey, blue monkey, black and white colobus, baboon, and, most notably, Bwindi’s renowned inhabitants - the Mountain Gorillas.

Check in at your lodge and conclude your day with a delightful dinner, followed by a peaceful overnight stay in the heart of the African wilderness.

Awake to the natural sounds of Bwindi’s birdlife and the nearby springs. After a quick breakfast, head out from the lodge just after dawn with your packed lunch and make your way to the National Park offices. There, you'll be assigned to a gorilla family in groups of eight, along with a gorilla tracking guide.

Your guide and tracker will take you deep into the forest to find your assigned gorilla family. The trek can last anywhere from 30 minutes to eight hours, depending on where the specific gorilla family is located.

Once you find the gorillas, you'll have up to one amazing hour to quietly watch them. They’ll likely be just a few meters away, going about their daily routines, feeding and interacting with one another, all under the watchful eye of the silverback.

In the afternoon, you'll be taken back to your accommodation, where you can spend the evening reflecting on your unforgettable experience with Uganda's gentle giants.
