This park is another place popular for gorilla tracking and is towards the southwest of Uganda and borders the countries of Congo and Rwanda . The park also covers part of the Virunga volcanoes, which are three volcanoes from the Virunga group of volcanoes and are now extinct.
Apart from gorilla tracking this park also has hiking as one of the activities it offers. Hiking is to the top of one of the three extinct volcanoes and can be an exhilarating experience. There are three volcanoes that offer a unique hiking experience. Mt. Sabyinyo is the one that offers the steepest challenges and has a lot of sharp drops. The top most peak of this volcano is called peak 111 and once on top of this you are afoot on three different countries – Rwanda , Congo and Uganda all at once!
Mt. Gahinga is a gentler when compared to Mt. Sabyinyo and provides an opportunity of a six hours round trip and parts of which through lush bamboo forest.
Mt. Muhavara is slightly more strenuous with a round trip estimated to be eight hours. Tourists are advised to camp on top of the mountain, which provides one of the most breath-taking views of nature in the entire country. The site itself has no facilities and therefore campers should take their own food and camping gear on the top.
The other experiences to look forward to while in this park are Cave exploration and bird – watching which are both very relaxing and can be done on your own or with the help of a guide.
