Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a biodiverse mountainous area in southwest Uganda. It’s home to half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, who feed on roots, leaves and fruits from the park’s many tree and fern species. Restricted numbers of viewing permits help protect the endangered gorilla families. In the park, rough paths weave through the dense forest, which is also home to many butterflies and birds.
