Bwindi Inpenetrable Forest retains the WordPress spelling used by the collection and refers to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Its dense montane forest covers rugged hills in south-west Uganda.

Experiencing Bwindi Inpenetrable Forest

Gorilla trekking is carefully controlled through permits, guides and trackers, with routes varying in length and difficulty. Forest birding, community-led experiences and nature walks add depth beyond the gorillas.
