Guided gorilla trekking for non-governmental organization (NGO) employees for three days

As the largest national park of the three nations home to the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas, Bwindi National Park is an ideal destination for anybody interested in trekking with these primates. One of the world’s oldest national parks, the park extends over 321 square kilometers.

Situated in southwestern Uganda, the park is well known for its mountain gorilla population. A wide variety of animals, including 800 mountain gorillas, birds, trees, antelopes, and primates, call this national park home.

The forest is blessed with streams of water and trees, and the name Bwindi comes from a native term meaning “darkness.” Trekking through the forest demands physical stamina due to the many high mountains that must be climbed.

Among the various animals and plants that call this park home are twelve habituated groups of mountain gorillas, as well as baboons, reptiles, butterflies, frogs, birds, and primates including colobus and white monkeys.

Note that they are wild creatures; they keep on moving. A gorilla hike may take anything from thirty minutes to three quarters of a day, depending on the location of the mountain gorillas and where they last fed and nested.
