The Bwindi impenetrable national park is a tropical rain forest found in the southwestern part of Uganda. It is in Kanungu district, near Kanungu town on three hundred and thirty kilometers of land. The park has four sectors for gorilla trekking and gorilla habituation. These include Nkuringo, Buhoma, Rushaga, and Ruhija. &nbsp;The forest lies close to the Democratic Republic of Congo border near another national park called Virunga and Albertine rift. The national park was established in the year nineteen ninety and is under the management of Uganda wildlife authority. Endangered animals, plants, and even insect species are preserved here to ensure continuity of the species.

In addition to mountain gorillas Bwindi also hosts other primate species such as seldom-seen chimpanzees (Bwindi is the only place where mountain gorillas and chimpanzees are found together), black-and-white colobus, Ugandan red colobus, red-tailed and blue monkeys, golden monkeys, grey-cheeked mangabeys, vervets and vulnerable L&#39;Hoest&#39;s monkeys.

Other mammals&nbsp;found in Bwindi include forest elephants, duikers, forest hogs, bush pigs, golden cats, jackals and civets.

Bird watchers can hope for&nbsp;350 bird species, including 23 Albertine Rift endemics. Notables include Chapin&#39;s flycatcher, short-tailed warblers, green tinkerbirds, Shelley&#39;s crimsonwing and African green broadbill.

A&nbsp;Uganda safari&nbsp;offers a unique opportunity to experience the majestic&nbsp;gorillas in Africa&nbsp;up close, especially in the lush Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Among the top&nbsp;places to visit in Uganda, this park stands out as a primary destination for wildlife enthusiasts. The&nbsp;best time for gorilla trekking in Uganda&nbsp;is during the dry seasons, from June to August and December to February, when trails are more accessible. For travellers&nbsp;choosing between Uganda and Rwanda for gorilla trekking, Uganda often appeals with its more affordable permits and diverse landscapes, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring Africa&rsquo;s natural wonders.
