Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda and Nearby Areas

This gallery contains pictures showing the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and its surrounding areas of southwestern Uganda -- Kisoro, Ruhija and Buhoma. This was the route we followed in traveling from Mgahinga Gorilla National Park to Buhoma, where we did our final gorilla trek.

All of the bird pictures in this gallery were identified by my friends on the Africa section of the Fodor's Travel Talk Forum. Thanks!

Near Lake Bunyoni, we stopped to assist some friends who were having vehicle trouble, and we were quickly mobbed by children.  The one pictured center here proudly announced that his name was Drug Belly, while brandishing his panga.

We encountered many black and white colobus monkeys in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.  These were just as curious about us as we were of them.
