Highlights
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Also known as Impenetrable National Park, is a thickly forested area in southwestern Uganda that houses almost half of the world’s surviving mountain gorillas. The park is an old and complex ecosystem with a wealth of biodiversity and within its depths lies a rare world. Due to the dense undergrowth and rugged terrain, large portions can only be reached on foot, preserving its primordial nature. Forest elephants, giant forest hogs and hundreds of butterfly species roam beneath the thick canopy of trees.
Famous for its unique tree-climbing lions and has four of the Big 5 (leopard, elephant, buffalo and lion). Lush jungles provide habitats to thousands of bird and animal species, while rivers and lakes attract hippo and elephant.
