Gorilla trekking is mainly the reason why someone might look for accommodation in or near Bwindi impenetrable forest national park. However, it should be noted that Bwindi impenetrable forest national park does not only offer gorilla trekking but also nature walks whose inception point is often also in line with the four sectors of Bwindi impenetrable forest national park.

Bwindi impenetrable forest national park has four gorilla trekking sectors, the Nkuringo sector, the Rushaga sector, Ruhija sector, and the Buhoma sector. Whenever you buy a gorilla permit from Uganda wildlife Authority, you will be attached to one of these sectors gorilla trekking.

Anyone interested in trekking a particular gorilla family will have to first identify which sector that particular gorilla family is found. Then you can proceed to book a gorilla permit in that particular sector. There are many reasons people prefer the Buhoma sector to other sectors one of which is its proximity to Queen Elizabeth National park.
