3 Day Private Uganda Gorilla Safari Tour

Bwindi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and accessible only on foot, it is one of the oldest and richest ecosystems in Africa which dates back over 25,000 years and contains almost 400 species of plants, providing habitat for over 120 mammal species (including 11 primates), 346 species of birds (including 23 highly localized Albertine Rift endemics), 202 species of butterflies, 100 species of ferns, 27 species of frogs, chameleons, geckos and many other endangered species.

Bwindi is however most notable for over 50% of the approximately 1,060 Mountain Gorillas still living on earth.

Gazetted in 1991, the park rose to its peak after Gorilla tracking became a tourist activity in April of 1993, converting Bwindi into one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
