on the watershed between Africa's two largest river systems: the Nile
and the Congo. Much of the country's 26,338km2 is impressively mountainous,
the highest peak being Karisimbi (4,507m) in the volcanic Virunga chain

but numerous other lakes are dotted around the country, notably Burera,
Ruhondo, Muhazi and Mugesera, some of which have erratic shapes following

uganda and

forested hills before finally coming across the gorillas camouflaged in
the vegetation. An inspiring moment! (This trek can take from half an
hour to 5 hours a reasonable degree of fitness is required as well
as a sturdy pair of walking shoes) Sit in the forest among the gorillas,
listening to them grumble to each other, and marvel at the sheer size
of the dominant male; the silverback. It is an extraordinary feeling sitting
in the dense rainforest knowing you are with a few of the last remaining
mountain gorillas. Its amazing to think there are only about 650
of these beautiful creatures left!
If you have the energy this afternoon, take a guided walk on the Munyaga
River trail, which is an ideal short walk. This trail leads to three delightful
crystal clear waterfalls, and there is a profusion of tree ferns, epithytic
