Incredible gorilla experience - very expensive, but not a lot of introduction or information. *Ride 4 a Woman is an incredible, active community that supports local women in many ways - truly wonderful.

Bwindi is a cool and cold National park sometimes and this favors Animals to live in a conducive environment.

Great mountain environment. Had to walkthrough village and farms before reaching the park. Only saw the gorilla there and was a bit underwhelming.

The forest is so dense that it is difficult to see a lot of animals, however, seeing and spending time with the gorillas makes this experience invaluable! Absolutely amazing!

Our guides were able to locate the gorilla family relatively quickly and the forest was lovely. I would have liked to learn more about the animals and area from them while we traveled though.

Silverbacks, the Golden Experience
As the venture is starting with a good hike to the last known where-abouts of the family, it takes you trough beautifull scenery.
However, as seen every where, Uganda hasn;t been forgotten by us humans in the major destruction of nature.
The clear cutting line of trees and farmland, shows so clearly the pressure of humans on the wildlife. Other scenery is infected with Eucalyptus trees, growing, but with no purpose at all, as it originate from Australia with a specific adapted wildlife.
Back in the nature, and in Bwindi, you will have a perfect picture about how almost whole africa must have looked like over a century ago. Marvelous! and so impressive. With some ''luck'' you will have to find the gorilla's here, deep in the jungle. with some less restraining hike, they are just across the farmland and showing

their gentle nature close by. Gentle nature..... perhaps with my video you might think differently, but it is all show off! The guides visit the gorilla's every day, for over many years, before they may host the guest from all over the world.The relative high price to pay for the 1 hour visit is worth every dime! and some is used to protect the species and land for future generations.
See, learn and respect the Best!
Hope you will have a wonderfull trip.

Hard work but worth the effort (you have not seen everything until you have seen Gorillas)
Bwindi Impenetrable forrest is not the easiest plave to get too but that is part of the adventure. Accomodation can be from very basic to 4 star if you want it to be.
Trecking to find gorillas is hard work (they are mountain Gorillas after all) but you are pretty much certain to find them and it is a very special time.
The Park guides are excellent trackers and you are looked after very well (if offered a porter then take one carrying all you stuff is harder then you imagine).
We went mid year and the weather was fine although the jungle is damp most of the time.
The scenery is stunning although travelling around is an adventure of its own wil only mud roads to use.
Some great bird watching opportunities with some really good guides.
Would I do it again Yes in a heartbeat, worth all the effort.

a great pleasure, one of the best animal experience
we were very lucky, the weather was good. The way to the gorillas was exhausting (especially for my wife) but we reach the gorillas after one and a half hour. We were lucky to see the whole family (silverback with babies) in a meadow, so we had enough light for photos (if you like I can send you more photos) . After an hour we go back in an very happy mood.
