The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is thought to be one of the most biologically diverse forests in Africa. It has an eco-system that defines the very essence of the continent and has therefore been designated as a World Heritage Site. The forest floor is damp and laden with leaf mould, matted vegetation and fallen vines, which serve to trip you as you clamber up and down the slippery slopes in search of half the world’s population of mountain gorillas.
