Overview
Journey deep into Bwindi Impenetrable National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to almost half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas. This unforgettable safari pairs a face-to-face encounter with a habituated gorilla family with the misty beauty of one of Africa's oldest rainforests, before winding down beside the tranquil waters of Lake Bunyonyi.
Beyond the gorillas, Bwindi shelters elephants, a wealth of bird species, several kinds of monkey and much more, making every moment in the forest a fresh discovery.
