The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a magnificent green
swathe of dense rainforest, so ancient it survived the last ice age.
Bwindi National Park covers 330 sq km of this rainforest and spans
altitudes of 1,100 metres to 2,400 metres - a dramatic landscape of steep
hills, narrow gorges and streams tumbling down waterfalls. |
