3 Days Gorilla Trekking Safari

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is located in south-western Uganda in the Kanungu District. The Bwindi forest is on the edge of the Albertine Rift, at elevations ranging from 1,160 to 2,607 metres. With its proximity to the equator means that temperatures are very consistent throughout the year, hovering around 23°C in the day and dropping to roughly 11°C at night.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest got its name from the Runyakitara word Mubwindi that mean a place full of darkness”.which means the park covers an area of 321 km² all of which is forested with some areas being covered by bamboo and shrubs. And because of the dense forest, Bwindi receives good rains all year and has cool temperatures even when the rest of the country is experiencing a dry spell.

Though Bwindi Impenetrable Forest harbors different wild species like over 200  tree species, more than 104 species of ferns and over 1,000 flowering plants, almost 200 butterfly species, forest elephants and several species of antelopes. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is one of the only conservation areas in the world where chimpanzees and mountain gorillas share the same habitat with over half of the world’s mountain Gorillas population.
