Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is located in
southwestern Uganda on the edge of the western rift valley covering 331
sq. kms. It is one of the largest natural forests in East Africa,
supporting a large number of plants and animals not found elsewhere.
About half the world's population of 600 mountain gorillas reside in
Bwindi.
The vegetation, as the park's name implies, is composed of tropical
rainforest 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 months in advance is required to avoid
disappointment.
Along with the gorillas, there are nine other species of primates
including chimpanzee, blue monkey, redtail monkey, L'hoest's monkey,
black and white colobus, potto, Demidoff's and needle-clawed galago.
Three hundred forty-seven species of birds have been recorded in
Bwindi; seven species are listed as endangered. Species of particular
interest include the Kivu ground thrush, white-bellied robin chat,
red-throated alethe, collared apallis, short-tailed warbler,
yellow-eyed black flycatcher, Rwenzori batis, blue-headed sunbird,
strange weaver and the Shelley's crimsonwing. Over 200 species of
butterflies have also been recorded here.
