Bwinidi National Park Key Information Testimonials

Home to almost half of the world’s surviving mountain gorillas, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is, for many visitors to Uganda, the main event. In our opinion, tracking these extraordinary animals in their natural environment is without doubt one of the most memorable travel experiences anyone can have. An hour in their company will stay with you for a lifetime.

Expert guides will lead you through the dense jungle to the gorilla group you’ve been allocated and lucky visitors might see forest elephants or the rare giant hog on their journey too. This biologically diverse region is thought of as one of East Africa’s most famous national parks and rightly so as far as we’re concerned!

It was absolutely magical. As soon as we turned the corner and saw the first gorilla, I started to cry because I was so happy. They were also fantastic lodge recommendations from the True Travel team! Bwindi Lodge was hands down my favourite, amd we also loved getting out of the car and hiking to get there. As you’ll see, my dream of being close to the gorillas really came true. We had such a wonderful time, and thank you for your help making it come to life.
