Bwindi national park is special among the mountain gorilla national parks in Uganda, Rwanda and Dr.Congo because it is the only place where one can also see chimpanzees. Bwindi Impenetrable national park is managed by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). UWA has had to deal with challenges of forest encroachment and small scale poaching of forest creatures by communities living close to the national park. This is one of the reasons why the Batwa pygmies were evicted from the forest.

Uganda Gorilla trekking is the main activity in the park and attracts thousands of tourists to the park. Bwindi is the best place to go for gorilla trekking because it has more gorillas and the Uganda gorilla permits are reasonably priced fairly. A gorilla permit in Uganda alone costs $700 while in Rwanda it is $1500 just for the permit. Bwindi has 17 habituated gorilla groups but over 50 others have been left undisturbed wild. It is only in Bwindi that primate lovers can take part in 3 day Uganda gorilla habituation experience. Gorillas in Bwindi can be tracked in four sectors – Rushaga, Ruhija, Buhoma and Nkuringo; so with the above reasons, you are now free make a choice of booking our 2 Day 1night best of Uganda –Rwanda Gorilla trekking Tour which starts and ends in Kigali, Rwanda because the distance from Kigali to Bwindi is short compared to Entebbe to Bwindi.
