For the smallest national park in the whole of Uganda, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park has a huge amount to see and do. Encompassing three volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains, it is these lofty peaks that give the park its distinctive and beautiful features and they make for some amazing hikes to their summits.
The lush vegetation and verdant forests that coat their slopes are home to a family of gorillas and trekking through the undergrowth to catch a glimpse of them in their natural habitat is an exciting and unforgettable experience.
The local Batwa community also call these forests their home and learning about their culture and history of life in the area is fascinating. The stunning scenery on show only adds to the appeal of this amazing national park
