- 8 Tent/s
Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is located in south-western Uganda, in the heart of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This is the perfect place to stay for tracking the endangered mountain gorilla.
There are just eight luxurious tents with en-suite bathrooms and the communal area has a comfortable lounge, bar and an elegant dining area, all with wonderful views over the lush green rainforest.
The main activity at Gorilla Forest Camp is mountain gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
Tracking through the forest with steep slopes means that you do need to be physically fit to get the most out of looking for and viewing the gorillas. Once the gorillas have been found, you then spend a maximum of one hour with them before returning back to camp. Children aged 15 and older can go gorilla tracking.
Other activities include a community walk to meet the local Batwa Pygmy community, a full-day Batwa Tribe experience, forest and birding walks, game drives in the Queen Elizabeth National Park plus relaxing spa treatments.

Region
Situated in south-western Uganda, the park is part of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - one of Africa’s most ancient habitats, surviving the last Ice Age as most of the continent's other forests disappeared.
The broad altitude span and its antiquity has produced an incredible diversity of flora and fauna; it provides habitat for 120 species of mammals, 348 species of birds, 220 species of butterflies, 27 species of frogs, chameleons, geckos, and, perhaps more importantly, a number of endangered species. In particular, the park is a sanctuary for colobus monkeys, chimpanzees and around 400 Bwindi gorillas, half of the world's population of these critically endangered mountain gorillas.
Floristically, the park is among the most diverse forests in East Africa, with more than 1,000 flowering plant species gloriously scattered over some 128 square miles of undulating landscape. This swath of steep mountains covered in thick, steamy jungle and rugged valleys is just as magnificent as it sounds.
It is undeniable that Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a remarkable place.
