I visited Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, an awe-inspiring location that is home to the last mountain gorillas on the planet. The park is over 30,000 hectares and hosts 347 bird species, 120 mammal species, and an incredible array of flora. The endangered mountain gorillas are the highlight of the park, with only around 1004 remaining worldwide. I was thrilled to see these fascinating creatures up close, admiring their intelligence and social structures. The park's terrain is also a wonder, with steep hillsides and valleys that are covered in lush vegetation that forms a canopy over the forest floor. During my visit, I learned about the Batwa Pygmy tribe, who were evicted from the forest to protect the gorillas. They now work with tourism companies, sharing their culture with visitors. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is a must-visit location for wildlife enthusiasts and all those who value the conservation of these gentle giants.
