Trip Advisor, one of the world’s largest and most credible travel websites has awarded Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in south - western Uganda with a Certificate of Excellence.

On the certificate signed by Christine Peterson, President of TripAdvisor, Bwindi was honoured as a business that consistently earns top ratings.

“With a rating of 5.0 Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has earned a place among the very best. This award, which is given only to the most exceptional performers in TripAdvisor’s global business community, is significant achievement deserving of recognition from both travellers and staff,” the certificate reads in part.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site, located in south-western Uganda and home to half of the world’s mountain gorillas.

It is also home to the colobus monkeys, chimpanzees and a variety of bird species.
TripAdvisor recognises the power of travellers’ feedback. The Conservation Area Manager for Bwindi Impenetrable Conservation Area, Pontious Ezuma, this certificate is a testimony to the high standards.

This is another recognition of Uganda after Lonely Planet, one of the biggest and oldest guidebooks for travellers surprised the world when it chose Uganda as a favourite and top world destination to visit this year.
