Face to Face With Mountain Gorillas in Uganda | Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
We trekked into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to come face-to-face with one of the world's last remaining mountain gorilla families. Uganda is home to over half the world's mountain gorillas, and the $800 trekking permit directly funds the conservation that keeps them alive.
Here's what the experience actually looks like — the lodge, the hike, the encounter, and why it's worth every dollar.
This is Part 2 of our 3-part Uganda travel series. Massive thanks to Mission Africa Safaris for organizing this once-in-a-lifetime Uganda gorilla trekking experience.
