Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is the most popular gorilla trekking location and a home to roughly half of the world’s mountain gorilla population. It is divided into four main trekking sectors: Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo.
Mgahinga Gorilla National Park located in the Virunga Mountains, issues about 8 permits per day and offers an alternative to the denser jungles of Bwindi.
