<!--Amboseli National Park - Kenya-->

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to over 370 gorillas, accommodating almost a half of the world’s population of mountain gorillas. A tour to this park enables you get up close and personal with the rare species. This safari will give you an opportunity to see these rare and threatened gorillas.

The park covers about 200 square miles of extremely dense rainforest and was proclaimed a world Heritage site. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park was gazetted in 1942 as a forest reserve (Bwindi Gorilla Forest Reserve) and upgraded to the status of being a national park in 1992.

Bwindi Gorilla Parks rests on 327km2 of tangled vegetation draped over a deeply fissured landscape of steep, slippery valleys and high, draughty ridges. It is well worth the effort to trek through Bwindi, one of Africa’s most ancient rainforests, in search of the endangered Mountain Gorillas. Gorilla tracking is ranked among the world’s top wildlife adventures.

Bwindi Forest is characterized by thick tropical rainforest, often shrouded in mist, and is regarded as one of the most biologically diverse forests of Africa. It is a true rainforest with 1,500mm of rainfall per annum at an annual average temperature range of 7oC-20oC with the coldest period being June and July therefore requiring warm clothing plus wet weather gear since Bwindi receives up to 2390mm of rain per year.

Heavy rains are usually in September-November. Short rains are in March to May and instead of short tropical deluges, rain in Bwindi often falls as long hours of soft drizzle
