Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is a high-altitude park, sitting between 2,227m and 4,127m above sea level. It was established primarily to protect the mountain gorillas that call its dense forests home, as well as the endangered golden monkey. The park also holds great cultural significance, particularly for the indigenous Batwa Pygmies. As the forest’s first people, their ancient knowledge of its secrets remains unparalleled.
