Bwindi protects mountain gorillas alongside rich bird, butterfly and plant life. Gorilla trekking is physically demanding and tightly controlled to reduce stress and disease risk for habituated groups.
Secure permits through authorised channels, follow health and distance rules, prepare for steep wet terrain and choose community-sensitive lodging and guides.
