The Bwindi Impenetrable National Park covers 331 square kilometers of tropical forest in southwestern Uganda near the border of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is best known as the home of half the world's population of mountain gorillas, though the park also supports chimpanzees and several other species of primates.
