In 1942 the two reserves were combined, enlarged and were renamed the Central Crown Forest. This new forest covered an area of 298 square kilometres. In 1964 the forest was renamed the Impenetrable Central Forest Reserve and the area was designated and animal sanctuary with a remit to provide extra protection to the mountain gorillas. In 1966 the area was again increased to 321 square kilometres by incorporating two other forest reserves. In 1991 after the merging of Mgahinga Gorilla Forest Reserve, Rwenzori Mountains Reserve and Central Forest Reserve, the combined area was given the name Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This had a huge impact on the indigenous Pygmy tribe, the Batwa who resided in the forests as they were evicted and could no longer live in the new Park. In 1993 the first Gorilla Trekking activities were offered by the Park and the following year it was inscribed as a World Heritage Site. The Park continues to be a popular tourist destination and serves as one of only 3 places in the world where you can see Mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat. BOOKINGS You need to Book your Gorilla Permit well in advance to ensure that your requested dates are available, but no more than two years.
