Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
About Bwindi Impenetrable
You will hear Bwindi before you see it — a deep, living silence broken only by birdsong and the distant crack of ancient trees settling. This UNESCO World Heritage rainforest shelters over 450 mountain gorillas, roughly half the global population, in one of the oldest intact ecosystems on earth. Trek in small groups of eight, spend a permitted hour face-to-face with a habituated gorilla family, and return to camp knowing that this morning existed nowhere else on the planet.
