	Mgahinga National Park

	This park only covers an area of 34 sq.km and is located in the extreme southwest corner of Uganda bordering with The Congo and Rwanda. It includes parts of Muhavura. Mgahinga and Sabino Volcanic Mountains. The summit of Muhavura has a crater lake and is the highest point at 4127 meters. The park can be reached from Kampala by road, through Kabala and Kisoro and is a 510 km. Drive. The lower slopes have high altitude savannah woodland with lots of lichens and mosses. This leads up into bamboo and broad leaved montane forest, while the summit areas are covered by wort and dwarf heath vegetation.
	Here live The Mountain Gorillas which are the most awe inspiring animals in Africa. They have faced extinction due to poaching and the decimation of their natural habitat. Today the decline has been slowed and they are now able to extablish their family groups untroubled by man. Access to the families are strictly limited and controlled. Small groups when allowed, are accompanied by a ranger. The number of tourists is very limited at any one time. See our site www.gorilla-tours.com There is an abundance of other wildlife in the park. One can hope to see Colobus Monkey, Jackal, Porcupine, Golden Cat, Honey Badger, Duiker, Aardvark and Elephant. In addition one might also see Leopard, Giant Forest Hog, golden monkey, bushbuck and buffalo. There is a wealth of birdlife to be seen with their brilliant plumage.
