Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is one of the most visited destinations in Uganda due to its gorilla trekking experience. It's home to the critically endangered mountain gorillas and is the only place in the world where they can be found in their natural habitat. Ishasha is a southern part of Queen Elizabeth National Park and is famous for its tree-climbing lions that are commonly seen resting in the branches of fig trees. Queen Elizabeth National Park is a popular destination for wildlife lovers with its large concentration of mammals such as lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and many more. Muyanga Waterfall is a beautiful attraction located in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, and it's a perfect place for nature walks. The boat ride in Kazinga Channel is a fantastic experience to see different bird species and large schools of hippos. Finally, Kyambura Gorge or Kalinzu Forest offers the opportunity to track chimpanzees in their natural habitat while exploring the ecosystem of the atmospheric rainforest.
