The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest has a rich history dating back thousands of years. It has been inhabited by various indigenous groups, including the Batwa people, who have lived in harmony with the forest for generations. In 1991, the forest was designated as a national park to protect its unique ecosystem and the endangered mountain gorillas that call it home.
