Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in the heart of Uganda.
It shelters great mountain gorillas and shows thick forests, wild life, and grand views.
Nature paints art here.
A visit lets you see the apes and join a world of life, culture, and fun.
The Allure of Mountain Gorillas
Seeing gorillas in the wild runs deep in our heart.
You step into green paths with a small team.
Each step feels close and clear.
Skilled guides from the Uganda Wildlife Authority lead you.
They walk with you over steep ridges and small valleys.
The close steps reveal the secret of the jungle.
Many treks show gorillas in a few hours, while some may last six hours.
When you meet the gorillas, you stand about seven meters away.
Young eyes may draw nearer, and the scene feels real and warm.
