UGANDA TOURS
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in southwestern Uganda on the
edge of the Rift Valley. Its mist-covered hillsides are blanketed by one
of Uganda's oldest and most biologically diverse rainforests, which
dates back over 25,000 years and contains almost 400 species of plants.
More famously, this “impenetrable forest” also protects an estimated 350 mountain gorillas – roughly half of the world’s population, including several habituated groups, which can be tracked.
This biologically diverse region also provides shelter to a further 120 mammals, including several primate species such as baboons and chimpanzees, as well as elephants and antelopes. There are around 350 species of birds hosted in this forest, including 23 Albertine Rift endemics.
The neighboring towns of Buhoma and Nkuringo both have an impressive array of luxury lodges as well as restaurants, craft stalls and guiding services. Opportunities abound to discover the local bakiga and batwa cultures through performances, workshops and village walks.
