Drive to Bwindi impenetrable forest with a stop over at the equator
Bwindi impenetrable national park is located in south western part of Uganda on the edge of the western lift valley covering 331sq kms, its one of the largest national forests in the East Africa, supporting a large number of plants and animals not found elsewhere. About half of the world’s population of 600 mountain gorillas resides in Bwindi. The vegetation as the park name implies is composed of tropical rain forest with dense undergrowth. This rugged terrain makes hiking in search of gorilla strenuous work; visitors who trek should be prepared for up to 8 hours of hiking. Good physical condition is required. A maximum of only 6 permits per day are available for advance booking so confirmation 4-12 month in advance is required to avoid disappointment.
Distance from Kampala: 580km estimated transit time: 8-10 hours.
