Hiking on your way to the park, look out for small piles of stones in the garden fields. The local people call such a pile a ‘Gahinga’. Mount Gahinga is quite bigger than the average ‘gahinga’ but sitting next to Mount Muhavura does make it look small.<\/p>\n
A hike, which takes you about, six hours round trip, goes through a good example of a pure Bamboo forest.<\/p>\n
Gahinga once had a Crater Lake on top but time has changed it into a Lush swamp. Distance to the swamp is 8km.<\/p>\n
Like an old man, time has eroded Mt. Sabyinyo’s crown. This volcano offers 3 challenging peaks to climb.<\/p>\n
A climb up the mountain takes one up a ridge along the eastern side of the climb to peak.<\/p>\n
If you are to continue, the climb to the peak 111 involves walking a ridge with breath-taking drops into gorges of Rwanda and Uganda, a dual experience you will achieve here.<\/p>\n
Finally, the hike up to the peak 111 is steep with several ladders and mush scrambling. You are guaranteed to get your hands dirty en-route to peak111! Once on top, you will be in Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, what a triple experience this is!!! The journey takes about eight hours round trip to cover the 14km stretch.

The typical cone-shaped Mountain provides some of the best views in the country.<\/p>\n Much of the climb passes a rocky surface covered by grasses and small shrubs.<\/p>\n Once at the top, hikers are rewarded with the view of the Virunga volcanoes, Lake Edward in Queen Elizabeth Game Park, Bwindi and the peaks of Rwenzori Mountain.<\/p>\n The hike takes approximately 8 hours round trip covering 12km.<\/p>\n You are advised to camp at the Muhavura base camp the night before the site has no facilities so you need a tent, water, food and sleeping gear.

Muhabura<\/a><\/p>\n Garama cave <\/strong><\/p>\n This is one of the caves where once the crafty Batwa<\/a> (who were warriors) lived and fought their neighbors, the Bantu.<\/p>\n The distance to the cave entrance from the park headquarters is 3 km long and it takes about 4 hours. Your guide will show you how the Batwa lived and fought out of the cave.<\/p>\nMt.Muhabura(4127m) <\/strong><\/h3>\n
