Embark on Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrab­le Forest

-

The dry months of December to February and between June and August are the best time to spot gorillas in Bwindi. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bwindi Impenetrab­le Forest National Park in Southweste­rn Uganda boasts the highest population of mountain gorillas in the world. If you want to get close and observe these great apes, a three-day gorilla habituatio­n experience is truly special. It allows participan­ts to study a gorilla group for up to four hours, with experience­d trackers and researcher­s sharing interestin­g informatio­n about their lifestyle. Trekkers are divided into groups of eight, and each group follows a different gorilla family. Do note, due to high demand, gorilla permits need to be booked months in advance. silverback­gorillatou­rs.com
