Tucked away in the emerald hills of southwestern Uganda, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a world of ancient rainforest, shrouded in mist and mystery. It is best known as one of the last strongholds of the endangered mountain gorilla, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come face-to-face with these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Raw, primal, and deeply moving—Bwindi is a place that transforms every traveler who walks beneath its dense canopy.
closer look at
Covering over 320 square kilometers of untouched tropical forest, Bwindi is one of Africa’s oldest ecosystems, dating back more than 25,000 years. Its tangled vegetation and steep ridges are alive with biodiversity—home to over 120 mammal species, 350 bird species, and countless rare plants. Trekking through its cool, damp trails isn’t just a wildlife encounter—it’s an immersion into one of the most magical natural environments on Earth.
Get inspired
Bwindi offers one of the most profound wildlife experiences in Africa: gorilla trekking. Spending an hour in the presence of a gorilla family, observing their behavior up close, is emotional, unforgettable, and unlike anything else on the continent. But the forest offers more—birding, nature walks, and cultural experiences with the indigenous Batwa people, giving you a deeper understanding of the land and its ancient guardians.
Bwindi’s accommodation blends beautifully into the forest, offering everything from luxury eco-lodges with breathtaking views to mid-range forest camps and community-run guesthouses. Many lodges are located near the park’s four trekking trailheads—Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo—allowing you to stay close to the action while surrounded by serene forest sounds.
