7Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda

Nestled in the mountains of southwestern Uganda, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is known for its population of endangered mountain gorillas. Trekking through the dense rainforest to witness these gentle giants up close is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as Bwindi is one of the few places where you can see gorillas in the wild.

Beyond gorillas, the park is home to diverse flora and fauna, including over 120 species of mammals and more than 350 bird species. Bwindi’s mist-covered forests and steep terrain make it an adventure for intrepid travelers.
