Located in south-western Uganda, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest spans 331 square kilometres of dense tropical rainforest and is home to Uganda’s mountain gorillas. Bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, this lush region is among the most biologically diverse places on earth, with over 120 species of mammals, around 350 species of birds, and a staggering variety of insects and reptiles. The flora includes over 1,000 varieties of flowering plants, 104 species of ferns, and 163 species of trees.
The highlight of Bwindi safaris is the opportunity to go on a mountain gorilla trek. This forest is home to half of the world’s mountain gorilla population and is the only place in Africa where both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees coexist. Observing these majestic creatures in their natural surroundings is a deeply moving experience and directly supports conservation efforts through permit fees.
