GORILLA TREKKING
At just 330 square kilometers, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is a very modestly sized reserve, an island of forest surrounded on all sides by intense small-scale agriculture. Rafting the Nile offers a world-class adrenaline adventure, but the country’s most iconic experience is tracking mountain gorillas in their misty habitat. And if you view the Big Five, you’ll see that nature – diverse and resplendent – looms large here
