Gorilla Trekking from Mahogany Springs Lodge
The main reason why people visit Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is to trek mountain gorillas. Mountain gorillas share 98 percent DNA with us humans, meaning they are our close relatives. Mountain gorillas cannot survive in zoos and can only survive in their natural high-altitude habitat. Trekking always starts in the morning and takes 2 hours to 7 hours depending on the pace of hikers and location of the gorilla family.
