Mgahinga National Park

Pictures from Mgahinga National Park

Two of the three mountains at Mgahinga NP

The third mountain, named "Old Man's Teeth" in the local language.

Half of the crew on the hike/climb up to the gorge at Mgahinga ... which was about a 7 hour "walk," as they called it.

The team stops for a break at a clearing on the way to the gorge. On this trip, almost all of the Duke Engage team plus a couple of our community partner staff members spent 2 nights in Kisoro, the nearest town to the national park, and engaged in both the gorge walk and a visit to a cave formerly used by the Batwa tribe (pygmies) as a living space. I didn't get pictures of the cave walk, but others did. Sorry!

Paul looks for birds or possibly monkeys in one of two bamboo forests on the way to the gorge.
