A mountain gorilla in the Bwindi Impenetrable national park, Uganda. It was revealed this week that Uganda is ranked top in tourism industry growth in Africa over the past 12 months. This national park was originally created in 1942 as a forest reserve, and became listed as a world heritage site in 1994. It covers 327 sq km and is home to almost 50% of the world’s population of the mountain gorillas, which is estimated to be less than 800
