From cultural immersion to unbounded wildlife exploration, a trip to Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is sure to delight. The main highlight of these expeditions is undoubtedly gorilla tracking - these full day hikes through the dense jungles requires energy and stamina but pays off when you see the majestic gorillas up close in their natural habitat. Afterwards, you can visit a local community and even discover the traditions of the Batwa Pygmies to learn about the native tribal inhabitants of the forest. From the comfort of your lodge, you will look out over the vast expanse of trees and truly understand why it is known as an "impenetrable forest."

Tracking gorillas along the slopes of the mountains is the main activity here, and you will find that this is definitely an exhausting but rewarding experience. You will likely spend the full day out in the forest on the trail of the gorillas. You will have opportunities to re-fuel and eat lunch to keep your energy up as you track on of our closest primate cousins.

I've just started the process, but Tilly has been very helpful and has a great personality that puts a traveler at ease. I think the paperwork has just begun so I can't give an overall rating of the whole experience. So far, so good.
