I DRIVE TO THE IMPENETRABLE RAINFOREST OF UGANDA WITH MY TOYOTA |S3EP10|
This time, I keep driving to the famous Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park alone, with Rafiki, my Toyota Hilux. The solo overland expedition across Africa is now flirting with the insane African rainy season.The road to get there is very technical: narrow, muddy, on the edge, and surrounded by the wildlife of the rainforest. I test the off-road capabilities of my 4x4 once again in the mountain gorillas' territory. I have to stop to wild camp, in the middle of nowhere, not far away from the famous Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The next days are going to be magical and simply unforgettable... Watch the episode now to dream with me!

Wow, Nature's handiwork on display. Awesome scenery with lush greenery. The people of Uganda are blessed with fertile land. Nuff respect. Bless up🙏🙏💖
Hello. Very beautiful report. Thanks.
What a scenery in rural Uganda. These hills, dense forests, wild lives reminds me my North Eastern states of India. Please keep it up. Thanks for the vlog.

I haven’t mentioned this before, but we absolutely love your intro sequence, where in just a few seconds you capture the highs and lows, the challenges and emotions of your epic journey. And that shot where you see the elephant is so adorable. Also your backing music choices are so good and the editing of subtitles and highlight texts is incredibly professional. That Bwindi ranger does have a cool car, but he doesn’t seem to realise it! It’s good to know I’m not the only one who chats to their car on a trip. The drive through Bwindi looked incredibly fun, but challenging - imagine doing it in that rain storm! Are you free to go where you please - so much of the trail seems infrequently driven, almost undriven?That was the main route to the hotel/lodge? Cooked liver 🤢 You’re happiness during the heavy rain is super cute! Love the socks and fleece look. Haut fashion!!!! The tent held up well given how heavy it rained - some would collapse in that volume of water. What brand is your dash phone mount? It looks good.

Thanks so much Shaun! Much appreciated! I do have goosebumps myself everytime I watch the intro too….🙃 I can drive anywhere no problem and thats not the road o the lodge but the only road across whole Bwindi😊 and I have no idea about the dash phone mount because I ordered it online just before the expe…it’s a Chinese brand I think, quite cheap 🙈

It’s an amazing experience I will never forget…I’m already in love with Bwindi💙 glad you enjoyed! Thanks so much for watching!!
Charline my friend, I love the views through the windscreen as you drive because it's really great to see what you experience, and yet it is also so nice to see your face when you are telling your stories, because you are so real and so funny! Yes the valleys of Bwindi are so beautiful , even if the roads are very technical! But do you know, I really think your grandma would love the view! 👵🏼😂 I think Rafiki was blushing because you complimented him so much and said you loved him so many times ☺️😂 Charline, let me tell you, if you truly enjoy sitting in your car in heavy rainy like that then you would really like it here in northern England! 🌧🤦🏻♂️😩😂😂😂
Happy travels Charline, watching the slow pace of gorilla’s life must be enchanting to watch, maybe a lesson for people to slow down and enjoy life more? Uganda looks beautiful and still partly wild✌️❤️🇬🇧

Charline, you are from France when i see your vlog of France
Thanks for listening to my advice, I told you Bwindi impenetrable Gorrila national Park has a big Gorrila population compared to Rwanda but Uganda is not good at marketing, I remember one time the former French ambassador to Uganda saying that because of marketing the world believes Rwanda has more Gorrilas compared to Uganda. Iam sorry Uganda's tourism infrastructure especially roads and airports are poor. Now I encourage you to visit Queen Elizabeth National Park in Western Uganda District of Kasese it has alot of animals, you can also climb Mount Rwenzori, the highest and snow peaked mountain in Uganda, Merci buku, thanks alot.

Well, they don’t call it Bwindi ‘impenetrable’ forest for nothing 😅😅 Modern humans are lucky they can now access it. For years, it was a sanctuary for gorillas and the bwatwa community because no one could penetrate it. And that’s how it has managed to preserve its place as home for the highest number of gorillas in the wild. Enjoy your trip.
