To see the gorillas at Bwindi was an experience that I will always remember and to see the passion with the guides showed how important the conservation of these animals are for the future.

It was amazing to be out on foot in the jungle, walking for over three hours in search of a gorilla family. Once you find the gorilla family, you know the hard hike through the heat and jungle was worth it.

The highlight of my trip, standing just a few feet away from a silver back is a souvenir that will never forget. The hike to find the gorillas can be difficult and a minimum of fitness is required. Great guides very friendly and knowledgeable.

Seeing the mountain Gorillas at the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park was an amazing experience. The area surrounding the national park is also spectacular, however there are distinctive areas to the park and getting between locations can take 3-4 hours! Choosing accommodation near the selected Gorilla location is a must, something we didn't appreciate and something our guides didn't arrange very well for us.

I didn't have money for the gorilla trekking but decided to go to Bwindi for hiking. Even without trekking gorillas I had a great time in the park. It is gorgeous.

The hardest hike I have ever done-- beating through thorns and dense bush, it took us 4 hours to find the gorillas -- wow, it was worth it. Incredible to see them lounging and foraging and eating and sleeping. A mother and tiny baby, a silverback, a few females, another competing male. So docile, in general.. Really incredible.

definitely a place of outstanding beauty, The Gorillas are the main attraction here but again there is such a diverse range of species you can't fail to be impressed.

If you want to see mountain gorillas I believe this is the best park to go and see them. I went on Sunday 7th September 2014 to one of the entrance points (sorry I forgot the exact location of entrance) of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest NP. The group was small, arount 5-7 tourists. Before the track the guide/ranger gave us tourist/trackers a good introduction on what to expect and the do's and don'ts. Thereafter the guides were informed by the rangers where our gorilla family was found. Because they are walking, foraging and eating, they are not fixed in one spot. Then the tracking began. I am not a sporty and I was a bit scared now and then climbing up and down the slopes of the mountain, but they all provided us with a stick and you could choose a porter to carry your daypack and to assist you. I have to admit that I was holding the (female?!) porter's hand for almost the whole trip, but they all really helped out: the guides, the porters and the rangers. It was a very nice
Read more experience, they were all very professional and we managed to find the gorillas after around 1-1,5 hours hike. We saw them eating tree bark and sitting together. They (the gorillas) saw us, but for the main part they simply ignored us and allowed us to be in there habitat. We also saw them swing in a tree and sit far above us. After we had spend 1 hour with the gorillas we hiked back through the forest. The silverback said his goodbyes to us with a big fart :-). After around 2 hours hiking we came at a parking lot where our drivers were waiting for us with the cars. It was a well organized and wonderful experience and we were all rewarded with a certificate :-). We were lucky with the weather, because during the whole track there was no rain. Nice experience!
