Kisoro international Vocational Institute - tourism calls tours Mgahinga gorillas National Park. During the tour activities included hiking, nature walk, bird watching, visiting Garama cave (the batwa trail) and visiting the Democratic Republic of Congo boarder.
​
At just 33.7km2, Mgahinga National Park is Uganda’s smallest national park. Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is located in the southwestern corner of Uganda. The Park covers the northern slopes of the three northernmost Virunga Volcanoes: Mt. Muhavura (4,127 m), Mt. Gahinga (3,474 m), and Mt. Sabinyo (3,645 m). The Park is about 10 km south of Kisoro and is bordered to the south by the Volcanoes National Park of Rwanda and to the west by the Virunga National Park of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The park is part of the larger Virunga Conservation area that spreads over the three countries. Each of these countries protects its own portion of the Virungas, in the Parc National des Volcans and Parc National des Virunga respectively. The three parks together form the 434-sq. km. ‘Virunga Conservation Area’ or VCA. Mgahinga is 33.7 sq. km, just 8% of the VCA. The entire Park is in Bufumbira County of Kisoro District.
Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is 33.7 sq. km and consists of the partly forested slopes of three extinct volcanoes. From far away, the huge cones of the Virunga volcanoes dominate the landscape and beckon you as you approach. When you reach the park you can get a great overview of the area by walking up the viewpoint, just 15 minutes from Ntebeko Gate.

Mgahinga Park has great biological importance because throughout the climatic changes of the Pleistocene ice ages, mountains such as these provided a refuge for mountain plants and animals, which moved up or down the slopes as climate became warmer or cooler. The Virungas are home to a large variety of wildlife, including about half the world’s critically endangered mountain gorillas

KIVI STADIUM – The long wait for a new playground is over for students at Kisoro International Vocational Institute, as their new playground is now open.
This is a look at what students are now able to use for recess and in their free time especially the weekends.
The Institute’s principal says the students absolutely love it.
​During the opening of the new playground, the Institute had a friendly game with visitor students from Sweden where it ended in a draw of 6 goals from both sides.
Construction took place over the holidays, and phase one was finished last year.
