Visitors to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park for trekking activities will require physical fitness due to the topography of the place, which is hilly with a dense forest that is sometimes difficult to penetrate during trekking. Trekkers need to wear boots fit for hiking, long-sleeved clothes, and trousers fit for a forest walk.
Treks are limited to 8 people, and the best time to go trekking is during the dry season, from June to August, and from December to February.
Gorilla trekking permits range between US$700- US$800

Gorilla Habituation Experience in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Gorilla habituation is another intriguing tourist activity that can be combined with gorilla trekking, though it is more interesting than trekking.
Gorilla habituation involves spending much more time with critically endangered mountain gorillas, socializing with them, and trying to understand their behaviours. Daily visits to the forests are necessary until the gorillas adjust to our presence.
This process takes much more time a day since it involves climbing steep and mossy slopes, jumping over streams, and trying to follow gorillas in all directions. Habituation can be done with the help of an experienced tour guide.
Habituation is only done in Uganda in the Rushaga sector of Bwindi, making the country the best destination for gorilla habituation.

These playful primates always move in groups, and their number in a group can go up to 100 individuals. In the case of Uganda, golden monkey tracking is done in Mgahinga National Park only, where you will see them hopping and leaping in the bamboo forest as they chase each other.
