Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

Down on the border with Rwanda rises a chain of volcanoes, whose slopes, forest-clad, host golden monkeys and mountain gorillas. There are few visitors to enjoy the view, but those who make it, climbing to the higher reaches, are rewarded with a glimpse into the very heart of a country. The volcanoes are collectively known as the Virungas. The place to visit is Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.
