Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Overview

Ancient montane rainforest on Uganda's southwestern border, home to roughly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas. Trekking means a guided hike through steep, dense forest to reach a habituated family, then one hour in their company at close range. Permits are limited and must be booked well in advance. The forest also holds 350 bird species and 120 mammals.
