Bring jungle boots and rain jackets because the park is often wet, along with drinking water and energy snacks. Spend time in awe watching the gorillas go about their activities. Each gorilla safari encounter is different and has its own rewards, but you are likely to enjoy the close view of adults feeding, grooming and resting as the youngsters frolic and swing from vines in a delightfully playful display. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a magnificent green swathe of dense rainforest, so ancient that survived the last ice age. A recently proclaimed World Heritage site, it’s one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth and its unique, precious flora sustains roughly half of the world population of mountain gorillas – believed to number just 720. There’s also a substantial chimpanzee population and research shows that Bwindi is the only forest in Africa in which these two apes live together. The tracking may take between 2 and 6 hours but its well worth the effort. Time permitting; the afternoon is spent on a village walk. The Buhoma Village Walk gives you a great opportunity to visit the people surrounding Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. It also is a great way to support the local community directly.
