Introducing Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
When it comes to beautiful backdrops and gorillas in the mist, Mgahinga leaves Bwindi trailing as the jagged Virunga volcanoes are Africa at its biggest and best. Small park (34 sq km), big personality – this is the place for fans of voluptuous vistas and brooding volcanoes. Contiguous with Parc National des Volcans in Rwanda and Parc National des Virunga in the DRC, together they form the Virunga Conservation Area (420 sq km), home to half of the world’s mountain gorillas.
