Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is best known for its superb gorilla tracking, but it also provides refuge to elephant, chimpanzee, monkeys and various small antelope, as well as 23 bird species restricted to the Albertine Rift.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to roughly half of the world's mountain gorillas.The national park has 90 mammal species, including 11 primates, of which the black-and-white colobus, with its lovely flowing white tail, is prominent.

In the jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest live half the world's population of highly endangered Mountain Gorillas.
Brief History of Bwindi National Park
It is located in the far south-west of the country where Uganda, Rwanda and DRC (Congo) meet. Getting to Bwindi is an adventure in itself as you have to cross much of Uganda by road to get there. Permits are limited to 12 per day, many of which are purchased by tour operators.In the jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest live half the world's population of highly endangered Mountain Gorillas. Visiting them is one of the most emotional wildlife encounters you will ever experience.
This pocket of huge primeval forest in the Virunga Mountain range is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth. It has an eco-system that defines the very essence of the continent and has therefore been designated as a World Heritage Site. The forest floor is damp and laden with leaf mould, matted vegetation and fallen vines, which serve to trip you up as you clamber up and down the slippery slopes in search of a glimpse of the elusive gorillas.
