| Notice : | The Nyungwe mountain forest occupies the steep slopes of the Congo-Nile divide. The forest is closed and perfectly protects the slopes against gully erosion or mass wasting. These processes are only active along the roads which open the region. The forest of the Nyungwe is also a touristic attraction. The road infrastructure in Rwanda is very good. |
