Uganda has an amazing diversity of wildlife with around five hundred 500 mammal species, including the ‘big five’. Uganda’s biggest draw has to be Bwindi National Park, the natural habitat of the mountain gorilla. In fact Uganda has about 300 gorillas which is more than half of the world’s mountain gorilla population as well as chimpanzees and some 1,000 bird species.
The Bwindi National Park has several gorilla trekking routes through the 331 square km forest. Also called the Impenetrable Forest, Bwindi presents a challenging adventure holiday with dense and steep terrain. All that hiking is soon forgotten though as you glimpse a gorilla in its natural environment.
