Get lost in the forests of

Bwindi

You've arrived in one of Uganda's most remote

but most beautiful regions. These ancient

forests are home to an estimated 400

mountain gorillas.

 

This dense park, accessible only on foot, is habitat to over 200

spectacular butterfly species, as well as L’Hoest’s monkey, black

and white colobus, red-tailed monkeys, giant forest hog and the

African golden cat.

Bwindi is one of the top 10 birding sites in Africa with over 350

recorded species, including 23 endemics (you will spot 90% of all

Albertine Rift endemics here).
