The landscape is among the most impressive you will find in Uganda and it is swarmed by a rich wildlife bio-diversity that comprises of primates, wild animals and birds. The Kyambura Gorge is a section of the stunning Medley of Wonders or the Mweya (as it is referred to locally) in the lower Western part of Uganda.
