Mgahinga National Park
This small National Park protects the Ugandan portion of the Virungas, a chain of 6 extinct and 3 sporadically active volcanoes which follows the borders with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mgahinga was proclaimed with the primary aim of providing sanctuary to therare mountain gorilla, some 300 of which live in the Virungas, and gorilla tracking remains the most popular activity here, though it is dependent on the seasonal movements of the habituated groups. Mgahinga supports a diverse forest and moorland fauna, notably the localised golden monkey and at least 12 bird species endemic to the Albertine Rift, but also small populations of elephant, leopard, buffalo & black-and-white colobus monkey. The spectacular setting at the base of the volcanoes, the tallest of which reaches an elevation of 4,507m.
Size: 38.6 sq km
Location: Far southwest, bordering Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo, 146 from Kisoro town.
Getting there: One day drive from Kampala via Kabale. Public transport runs as Far as Kisoro, where taxis are available to the park gate
What to do: Gorilla tracking depends on whether the gorillas are around (they sometimes - not often - move across the border). permits must be booked at the UWA in Kisoro or Kampala. Guided walks to the volcanic peaks require an early start. En route to Know lies lovely Lake Bunyonyi, hemmed in by steep mountains and studded with small islands.
When to visit: Any time, but check that the gorillas are around.
