Bwindi Impenetrable Forest lies in south-western Uganda. The wildlife heritage park is famous for Mountain Gorillas and Gorilla trekking Safaris in Uganda. The name Bwindi is derived from the abundant bamboo clusters that are scattered throughout the larger hardwood forest. The presence of bamboo, along with a dense layer of ferns, vines, and other vegetation, significantly obstructs direct pedestrian access, making it impenetrable.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in the region where the plains meet the mountainous forests on the eastern border of the DR Congo, spanning an area of 32,000 hectares. This park is renowned for its remarkable biodiversity, featuring over 160 tree species and more than 100 fern species. Bwindi is certainly one of the most renowned national parks in East Africa, recognised as one of Africa’s oldest ecosystems, with a history that spans more than 25,000 years.
