Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is the home to the forest giants that are cousins to human beings, the gorillas.

Today, trek through the park’s dense vegetation, traveling up and down its steep slopes in search of the resident mountain gorillas. Your guides use their experience, knowledge of the gorillas’ habits and information from the previous day to locate them.
