The point of this tour
1An expedition in search of gorillas and chimpances!
Los chimpancés y los gorilas Bwindi viven en lo profundo del bosque escondido de los humanos. Por lo tanto, para encontrarse con ellos, caminaremos a través de bosques protegidos, y a veces subiremos cuesta arriba mientras avanzamos. ¡El encuentro es muy probable! Cuando te encuentres con uno, quedarás impresionado.

Typical animals that can be seen in the park, including tree-climbing lions in Ishasha district, are elephants, wild boar, Ugandan inlet, waterbuck, buffalo, hippo and leopard. In addition, there are more than 600 species of birds.
Typical birds include African spatulas, fishermen’s martines, salamanders, pelicans and vultures. A powerful game gives you the opportunity to meet big animals.
