Northeastern Congolian lowland forests (AT0124) flanks the Rift on the west and touches upon the edge of the Rift for a short stretch just north of Lake Edward.

The ecoregion is dominated by montane rainforest, but in the west, marginal fringes of the Guineo-Congolian rainforest impinge on the lower slopes (down from 500-800 m), and forest/savanna mosaic habitats border it to the east in Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi.

This ecoregion largely follows the ‘undifferentiated montane vegetation’ unit of White, including the western boundary adjacent to the Northeastern Congolian Lowland Forest, the southern polygon encompassing Monts, Malimba, and Magiba, and the three areas to the east of Lake Tanganyika (the Mahali Mountains).
