Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

Nestled in the Virunga volcanic chain, Mgahinga spans three extinct volcanoes rising above lush bamboo forests and montane grasslands. Besides the chance to trek golden monkeys through moss-draped trees, adventurous hikers can summit Mt. Gahinga or Mt. Sabyinyo, enjoying panoramic vistas of crater lakes and distant peaks. Ranger-led habituation experiences allow a closer look at gorilla families in a less-crowded setting than neighboring parks.
