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.

GORILLAS - that's explain everything. All your efforts are worth to make when you see huge silverback charging on you :)

Gorilla trekking was more incredible than I ever imagined! We were literally a few feet away from them. We saw so many gorillas including babies and a silver back. The guides, guards and porters were amazing. Trip of a lifetime!

Unfortunetly I didn't get to stick around the area long enough to do much for birding. The park was beautiful and the gorillas were of coarse the highlight of my brief time in Bwindi.
