It is estimated half of the world’s surviving population of mountain gorillas –300 and more live within Bwindi boundaries. The drive is long but enjoyable with lunch stop on the way. Bwindi National Park is located in the southwestern part of the country –the Kigezi Highlands once known as Switzerland of Africa.
Bwindi National Park offers a dramatic steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense, but crisscrossed by numerous animal trails allowing access to tourists. The 4 families have been habituated for tourism and each is visited by 8 people per day. Although trekking may be strenuous the viewing of the gorillas in their natural habitat is an experience long to be savored.. Apart from the gorillas, there are a variety of primates to be seen including the blue monkeys, red tailed monkeys, and black & white Columbus monkeys. The great blue tauracos are often seen and even for a non bird watcher they are marvelous sight.
