BWINDI IMPENETRABLE FOREST GORILLA SANCTUARY

This sanctuary is 297sq km (115 miles) of lowland rain forest and was gazetted to protect the Lowland Gorilla(Gorilla gorilla graueri) found there. A 1979 survey found six gorilla families with about 115 members, but noted that the population appeared to be declining. Game Wardens are sometimesavailable to take visitors to seek gorillas in their habitat, but it is advisable to check with the Game Department at Entebbe . Accommodation is available at the White Horse Inn in nearby Kabale. The sanctuary includes part of the Impenetrable Kayonza Forest.
