Tour overview
4 DAYS TOUR ITINERARY TO BWINDI IMPENETRABLE NATIONAL PARK (GORILLA SAFARI)
Enjoy the enormous biodiversity including the famous Mountain Gorillas.
Mountain Gorillas live in selected areas with high altitude and thick vegetation canopies which they feed on and make their habitats. They live like human beings in groups of 10-35 members, each group is always dominated by adult male “Silver back”, and it is true that these forest gentle apes are our cousins sharing about 98% DNA with humans. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to 326 Gorillas of the remaining 880 World Gorillas population. While Virunga landscape, which covers the areas of Mgahinga in south Western Uganda, Parc National des Volcans of Rwanda and Eastern DRC houses the remaining population.
