Gorilla tracking in uganda

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.
