3 Days Fly from Entebbe to Bwindi – Unveiling the Secrets of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Embracing both montane and lowland forests, Bwindi is an exclusively foot-accessible realm, recognized for its exceptional biological diversity.

Renowned for its antiquity and an elevation ranging between 1,160 and 2,607 meters above sea level, Bwindi unfolds as a true rainforest, gracing a network of steep ridges and valleys that shape the eastern boundary of the Albertine Rift Valley. This lush expanse of natural beauty is a haven for flora and fauna, making it one of the most biologically diverse forests in Africa.
