Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda World-renowned for its gorilla tracking opportunities, the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda is one of our favourite forests. Home to the highest concentration of primates on earth, this forest is famed for its lush jungle and tropical wildlife. Around 10 habituated gorilla families live in Bwindi National Park, and the journey you take to track them is nothing short of adventurous. Suited to more daring travellers, Bwindi’s terrain is such that you start your trek on high ground before descending into a valley and then tackling an arduous climb. Slopes can often be steep and there are no trails, giving Bwindi its impenetrable reputation. Tackling Bwindi’s challenging conditions is worth it though; the park is home to an incredible 79 mammal species, 160 species of trees and 100 species of ferns. As well as gorillas, travellers will be able to spot giant forest hogs, elephants and several small cat varieties. As it’s hard to know where the gorillas will be at any given time, you might be spending anywhere between half an hour and nine hours searching for these majestic creatures. Visiting Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is an experience in and of itself though, as it’s one of the most fascinating places on earth. Located at the southernmost point of Uganda, the forest covers an incredible 32,000 hectares and is a region of unrivalled biodiversity. September is deemed the ‘best time’ to visit, but Bwindi is generally good for sightings year round. June to August are also particularly good months to visit, with the reduced rainfall making for more accessible sightings. Wet seasons make for arduous trekking conditions so are best avoided, and run between March to May and October to early December. #info #EverythingsInfo
