Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, is green in a way that feels dense, layered and alive.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest holds almost half the world's remaining mountain gorillas. To walk into this forest, waterfalls threading through the undergrowth, the air thick with moisture and birdsong, and come face to face with a gorilla family is one of those experiences that changes your perspective. The silverback calm and watchful. The family going about their morning. The guide beside you has tracked this family for over a decade and knows each one by name. That knowledge, and the way he holds it, is part of the experience. Kibale holds the highest primate density of any forest on earth.
The White Nile, one of the great river's two sources, the other rising in Ethiopia, begins its long journey here, flowing north through Sudan and Egypt to the sea.
- Trek to the mountain gorillas of Bwindi Forest
