Bwindi hosts forest elephant, duikers, chimpanzees (rare), plus abundant birdlife; Lake Bunyonyi adds waterbirds and small mammals around the shore.
Bwindi’s forests have supported indigenous Batwa communities for generations; modern protection began in the 1990s to conserve the last mountain gorilla populations.
