The principle tourist attraction in Uganda,and indeed one of the most unforgettable experiences is Gorilla Trekking – Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to over half of the remaining Gorillas in the world spread over 20 families that live in this Park while others live in Mgahinga national Park. With an estimated population of about 554 Mountain Gorillas in 2020-Volcanoes national park in Rwanda and the Virungas of Congo are the only other places where you find the Mountain Gorillas.Gorilla trekking in Bwindi is amazing due to its large number of members in each Mountain Gorilla family spread in different sectors of the Park namely Ruhija,Nkuringo,Rushaga,and Buhoma but the Mukiza group of Ruhija was the first habituated family that was ready for Tourists. This tour becomes even more exciting when combined with Chimpanzee tracking plus a bite of Wildlife safaris and cruises
