Our first stop in Uganda - Bwindi Impenetrable National Park turned out to be so much more than we expected. Not only is it THE place to track mountain gorillas in Uganda, but it is a beautiful forest, home to other primates, many birds, and some nice waterfalls.
During our time in Bwindi, we stayed at Gorilla Safari Lodge (www.gorillasafarilodge.com), located in Rushaga sector and got a chance to visit the Rushaga community as well as the Batwa Community living just outside the forest. Before Bwindi was declared a National Park, the Batwa people used to live in the forest. They hunted, ate fruits, and lived in harmony with the forest. After being kicked out of the park, they were forced to move to Rushaga and now rely on tourism for income to sustain themselves and their families.
We hope our visit will inspire others to add Bwindi to their list of must-see destinations in Uganda!
