Finding Gorilla in Uganda
Where are gorillas in Uganda? The strongest odds are at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where access and habitat beat a chance roadside glimpse.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Southwest Uganda is the place to begin. Mountain gorilla trekking through steep, misty forest, home to roughly half the world's remaining gorillas. Give yourself quiet time at dawn or dusk and keep your distance.
Uganda context: Chimpanzees in the rainforest, gorillas in the mountains, and the source of the Nile.
In Uganda, look especially around montane rainforest and cloud forest. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
