Seven Days Tour
This safari starts from Entebbe [The Bwindi gorilla permit
is included in the safari cost but the other trackings require
a supplement to be paid at time of booking]. For those who
wish to visit the three available gorilla parks of the world
- Bwindi and Mgahinga in Uganda, and Parc National des Volcans
in Rwanda, which is on the other side of the misty Virungas
- please look at our RW3 itinerary (8 Days) from Kigali in
Rwanda.
Location
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla
National Park are located in south-western Uganda on the edge
of the western rift valley. Both parks are also rich in birds,
chimps, monkeys and butterflies. Bwindi is one of the largest
natural forests in East Africa, with both montane and low-land
forest. About half of the world's population of mountain gorillas
- about 300 animals - is found in Bwindi. Mgahinga, though
smaller, has its unique features. One gorilla family is open
to visitors here. Other activities include volcano-climbing,
guided nature-walk in the Gahinga forest for primates, birds
and butterflies or enjoy the breathtaking landscape!
