Prepare yourself for an encounter with one of Bwindi's gentle giants: the rare mountain gorilla. For most people, this is the complete highlight of their tour in Uganda. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest boasts mountain gorillas. It also hosts five other species of primate, 113 species of mammal, over 200 butterflies and 360 bird species. The gorillas tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. Your gorilla trekking will be an exciting journey along forested slopes, bushes and bamboo before you eventually reach the gorillas’ habitat. En-route, your guide will point out signs of previous gorilla activity, including dung, nests and chewed bamboo shoots. The time taken to track the gorillas can take as little as 1 hour to as much as 8 hours before you return! Once the gorillas have been located, your group will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a truly embarrassing and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’.
