At 33.7 km2, it is the smallest National Park in Uganda.

The word “Gahinga,” which refers to the mounds of volcanic stones that have been removed from farms at the base of the volcanoes, is how the park got its name.

The region was designated as a game refuge by the British government in 1930, and it became a National Park in 1991.

There is a single habituated transboundary gorilla group in Mgahinga.

Visitors can witness the Batwa people’s self-sufficiency and discover the mysteries of the forest through an engrossing tour led by a Batwa guide.

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is perched between 2,227 and 4,127 meters above the earth’s surface. It was established, as its name implies, to safeguard the endangered mountain gorillas who live in its deep forests. It is also a significant.

The three conical, extinct volcanoes on Mgahinga, which are a part of the magnificent Virunga Range that runs along the boundary between Rwanda, Uganda, and the Congo, are the park’s most notable features. Mgahinga is a portion of the much larger Virunga Conservation Area, which encompasses these countries’ neighboring parks. The ecological diversity and variety of the volcanoes’ slopes are evident, and their peaks offer a remarkable background to this breathtaking landscape.
