Gorilla permits are on high demand since visitors all over the world desire to have safaris and get a glimpse of the endangered gigantic species. Tourists who are always eager and ready to trek through the Impenetrable forests purchase gorilla permits at $700 in advance to search for these apes in their natural home.

 Upon sighting the species, they spend an hour trying to view how the gorillas feed and spend their day in their natural habitat from different trail heads namely Ruhija, Rushaga, Buhoma and Nkuringo.

Gorilla habituation experience

Bwindi offers an extraordinary activity from all the other parks that harbor gorillas and that is gorilla habituation. This experience has been thought of to offer tourists with enough time to spend with semi or non-habituated gorilla family, conducted only in the sector of Rushaga. Advance booking is paramount for any visitor in love with undertaking this life changing experience at a cost of $1500 and it is worth spending both money and time because tourists are permitted four hours of watching and learning exclusively about these animals.

Batwa cultural tours

The Batwa indigenous people are always eagerly waiting for visitors to take them back in time of how their good old days were while still in the forest before they were evicted. Definitely east or west home is best and that’s why these individuals chose to stay around the park which is also advantageous to the tourists because the lyrical traditional songs, cultural cooking techniques and a lot more of the Batwa is something exciting that tourists easily add to their itineraries in addition to the gorilla trekking adventure.

Nature walks

With all the vast forest that make up this park, nature walks have to be part of the experience to unleash the rare beauty of the area that hides within its thickness. Colorful butterflies, whistling birds among other species that bring life to the wilderness of Bwindi is worth risking a lot for.

Mountain biking

The undulating landscape of Bwindi is sacred to the gorillas but they also save a life for mountain biking enthusiasts as they offer to die for trails that perplex their muscles with excitement. Buhoma offers more exciting trails and any mountain biker should definitely be sure of where to find bikes to hit up on this game changing adventure.

Getting to the park

Depending on the convenience of the visitor, both air and transport can deliver them to the park safely. A road trip to the park takes 9 hours; driving, watching and passing through magnificent towns of the pearl of Africa while an air trip from Entebbe is just one and a half hours to Kihihi airfield for those trekking from Buhoma or Ruhija sectors and to Kisoro airfield for those trekking from Rushaga or Nkuringo sectors.
