About Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is one of the places in Uganda that feels just as rewarding as you hope it will. Known for mountain gorilla trekking, it also stands out for its thick forest, rich birdlife, and the sense that you are stepping into somewhere truly wild and protected. If you want a trip that feels meaningful, memorable, and closely tied to nature, this is one of the country’s strongest choices.
When to visit
June to August is the clearest trekking window, while December to February is another strong dry-season period with easier forest trails.

Getting There
From Kisoro or Kabale, drive toward one of Bwindi’s main sectors such as Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, or Nkuringo, depending on where you are staying or trekking. You can also fly from Entebbe or Kajjansi to Kisoro, Savanna, or Ishasha airstrips, then continue by road for the final stretch into the park.
