The park in which these last giant primates are be found
is known as Bwindi and is found in the South western part of the country.
It has always been referred as The Impenetrable Forest and has been conceived
as a Gorilla sanctuary even though it has more than ten other species
of primates e.g. chimpanzees, colubus monkeys, baboons etc. Bwindi also
encompass one of the richest areas in Africa for flora and fauna. Clients
need to be patient and prepared to scramble through more bushes than would
be necessary since the gorillas are not habituated to human contact.
