The 3 days Uganda Gorilla Safari includes the jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in search for the mountain gorillas. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in southwestern Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley. The “impenetrable forest” protects nearly more than half of the remaining mountain gorillas in the world and it is one of the best places to go gorilla trekking in Africa.
