A
magnificent verdant swathe across the steep
ridges of the Albertine Rift Valley, this ancient
rainforest - one of the few in Africa to have
flourished throughout the last Ice Age - is
home to roughly half of the worlds’ endangered
mountain gorillas and the safest place to track
these magnificent giants. Looking deep into
the expressive brown eyes of these gentle giants
is surely the most exciting and poignant wildlife
encounter that Africa has to offer - but we
should not let it distract you from Bwindi's
broader biodiversity, a result of its immense
antiquity with an altitude spanning from 1,160m
to 2,607m. The national park has 90 mammal species,
including 11 primates, of which the black-and-white
colobus, with its lovely flowing white tail,
is prominent. The forest birding ranks with
the best in Uganda, with 23 highly localized
Albertine Rift endemics present.
Gorilla tracking is the most popular activity
in Bwindi, with four gorilla groups. It can
be challenging to hike along the dense forests
searching for the gorillas therefore physical
fitness is a must. In the end, the pay off is
indescribable.
The park also offers fantastic nature trails
through the picturesque features the forest
is endowed with. The Muyaga river trail is an
ideal short walk for visitors with little time
to spare. The 30 minute nature walk leads to
the beautiful falls of the Muyaga River. Here
one can see birds and primates of the forest
edge, and learn about the flora and fauna.
The
3 hour popular waterfall trail provides an attractive
feature of the forest with a provision of tree
ferns, epiphytic ferns, orchids and Bwindi’s
colourful array of butterflies. This trail which
leads to 3 delightful crystal clear waterfalls
typifies your impression of a tropical rainforest
The Rushura trail commands expansive views across
the Western rift valley floor. To the West,
Congo’s Parc Nationale des Virungas provides
a spectacular backdrop and on clear days, Lake
Edward and the Rwenzori mountains are visible.
The 5.2 km Muzabajiro loop trail offers breath-taking
views of Bwindi Forest, Western Rift Valley,
and the Virungas. On the way, you can witness
hundreds of pre-historic tree ferns. The top
of this trail is a great place for a picnic
lunch.
For a cultural experience, the Buhoma Village
Tourist Walk is ideal. The walk introduces you
to a number of interesting sites such as a typical
rural homestead, a visit to the local traditional
healer, a banana brewing demonstration and many
more. Also cultural dances and story telling
can be enjoyed.
Bwindi is a bird watchers haven. It holds 346
species of birds and contains 90% of all Albertine
rift endemics, difficult or impossible to see
in any other part of East Africa, and seven
on the World Conservation Union-IUCN red data
listed species.
One
can identify up to 100 species a day!
The crossing to the rugged centre of the park
through Ruhinja affords one to see Uganda’s
finest vistas of deep undisturbed forests. Duikers,
primates and both forest and grassland bird
species can be seen. At Ruhinja, visitors especially
birders can take the three-hour scenery packed
hike to the Mubwindi swamp, and also to the
bamboo zone. The bamboo trail offers 14 vegetation
types and is one of the areas of highest specie
diversity in the park. At the top of this trail,
one can witness panoramic views encompassing
L. Bunyonyi and Mafuga forest.
