VISIT BWINDI IMPENETRABLE NATIONAL PARK WITH NILE ABENTEUER SAFARIS

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in southwestern Uganda. It covers an area of 321 square kilometers (124 square miles) in the Kanungu District. The park is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity and is home to more than half of the world's remaining mountain gorilla population.

The park is part of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and is situated along the Democratic Republic of the Congo border next to the Virunga National Park. Composed of both montane and lowland forest, it is accessible only on foot. Here are some key features:
Species Diversity: Bwindi provides habitat for 120 species of mammals, 350 species of birds, 310 species of butterflies, and 27 species of frogs, chameleons, and geckos. It is also home to many endangered species.
Floristic Diversity: The park boasts more than 1,000 flowering plant species, including 200 species of trees and 104 species of ferns. The northern sector has unique Guineo-Congolian flora.
Gorillas: Bwindi is most notable for its 400 mountain gorillas, which represent half of the world's population of this endangered species. Fourteen mountain gorilla groups live in different sectors of Buhoma, Ruhijja, Rushaga, and Nkuringo.
History: In 1932, two blocks of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest were designated as Crown Forest Reserves. Over time, the protected area expanded, and it was renamed the Impenetrable Central Crown Forest. In 1964, it became an animal sanctuary to provide extra protection for its mountain gorillas.
