Kisoro District is located in southwestern Uganda, bordering Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's a mountainous and hilly region, part of the Virunga Mountains, which include several volcanic peaks like Mount Muhabura.
Kisoro is often called the "Gateway to the Gorilla Highlands" due to its proximity to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, both home to endangered mountain gorillas. Tourism, particularly gorilla trekking and volcano hiking, is a major economic driver. The district also relies on subsistence agriculture, growing crops like Irish potatoes, maize, and beans.
Key attractions include:
* Mgahinga Gorilla National Park: For mountain gorilla and golden monkey trekking, and volcano hikes.
* Lake Mutanda: A scenic freshwater lake surrounded by hills, offering canoeing and birdwatching.
* Virunga Volcanoes: Opportunities for hiking Mount Muhabura, Mount Gahinga, and Mount Sabyinyo.
* Batwa Cultural Experience: To learn about the traditions of the indigenous Batwa people.
