Bwindi Impenetrable National Park Holidays

This beautiful and evocatively named park is UNESCO World Heritage listed for its exceptional biodiversity. The park lies on the edge of the Rift Valley, with its hillsides blanketed by Uganda's oldest and most biologically diverse rainforests.

These misty rainforest-clad mountains are home to roughly half the world’s endangered mountain gorillas with 9 habituated gorilla groups, each of up to 20 members. This is one of the best places in the world to see mountain gorillas up-close and the opportunity to spend some time with these magnificent creatures is an unforgettable experience. Gorilla trekking is undoubtedly the star attraction for most visitors, but the park is also home to a number of other mammals and primates, including chimpanzees and several species of monkey.

Treks here start at an altitude of around 1,500m and can be challenging as the gorilla groups can climb to over 3,000m over steep, densely forested terrain.
