Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Uganda's Albertine Rift that protects approximately half the world's remaining mountain gorilla population across four habituated gorilla groups accessible for daily one-hour trekking permits. The forest's name reflects the density of its undergrowth, which includes 200 tree species and 350 bird species in one of Africa's most biodiverse mountain forests. Treks typically last between two and eight hours depending on gorilla group location and ranger guidance.
