Where you will be
Bwindi · Southwestern Uganda
On the eastern ridge at Ruhija, with the forest falling away on both sides of the camp.
Impenetrable is not marketing. The forest closes over the trail within minutes, and somewhere on the slope a family of mountain gorillas is already awake.
Getting there
About two hours from Buhoma on the forest road, or four from Kabale.
