Mount Mufumbira Ranges  

Have you ever visited Muhabura ranges in South Western Uganda? Do you know of any tourist attractions in this area? On this page, we will show you all you must know about mount Mufumbira ranges in Southwestern Uganda.

Mufumbira Ranges stand tall and dominate the horizon like islands in the cloud-shrouded sky. Everywhere you turn; your eyes cannot resist but look at them.

Their chilling effect can be felt everywhere, even within the confines of your bedroom. Those mountains; Muhavura, Gahinga, and Sabinyo form the Mufumbira ranges.

Formed as a result of volcanic activity, the mountains are a major attraction in the Kisoro District and a great influence on the way of life of the local people.

For the first-time traveler, however, the chilly breeze from these mountains is enough to confine you to your bed for days on end, and yet the locals go about their daily chores unbothered, as long as it does not rain.

Kisoro is home to Mgahinga, the smallest of Uganda’s national parks well known for gorilla tours. The park lies on the northern slopes of Muhavura, Gahinga, and Sabinyo.

According to the natives, these peaks are three of the six that make up the Virunga ranges which mark the southern limit of the Albertine rift valley, divided between Uganda, Rwanda, and DR Congo.

The Virunga ranges are home to more than half of the world’s population of endangered mountain gorillas. It is 6:00 pm; I am seated on the porch of Golden Monkey Guesthouse, my home for the few days I will be in Kisoro. Sheeba Hanyurwa, the proprietor of the guesthouse, is giving me a crash course on how to survive in this cold part of the country. 

Muhavura in Kifumbira, the local dialect, means guide. It is believed that if you are lost and happen to see Muhavura, it will help you get your bearings hence guiding you to your destination. On the other hand, Gahinga means a heap of stones. Locals say a superior being put the stones in one place to create land for the people to farm and Sabinyo, shaped like a molar tooth, is named after an old man’s tooth.

A story goes that a man who fled from his people with only one tooth left in his mouth took refuge on one of the hills. One day, lightning struck and he fell losing his only molar. 

The molar is said to have created a dent on the hill, hence the name Sabinyo, owing to its shape. Sabinyo offers a breathtaking view of Uganda, Rwanda, and DR Congo. Standing on top of it, As Hanyurwa continued to tell me about the spectacular place, I started longing for extra clothing just to keep warm.

From my seat, I could see clouds moving as the skies darkened; mist descending, birds flying and hills adjacent to mountains with terraces that can be compared to a neatly patched quilt. The fusion of the terrain and the surrounding beauty captivated me.

Down one of the roads, I was privileged to see women with babies strapped on their backs, balancing baskets on their heads, while men transporting foodstuffs on the bicycles cycled home.

Following closely behind them were children returning home from school. Kisoro has two seasons — wet and dry.

July to September is considered the peak of the dry season and the rest of the year is wet. The weather favors the growing of Irish potatoes and beans. “Every three months, locals harvest Irish potatoes and sort them according to size. The small potatoes are kept as seeds for the next planting season, while the big ones find their way to the markets.

During the Irish potato harvesting season, some shops close, while others are turned into stores for Irish potatoes,” Hanyurwa says. A sack of Irish potatoes now costs sh80,000 in Kisoro, up from sh20,000 less than a year ago. This Irish potato region in southwestern Uganda is approximately 540km from Kampala city and about 80km from Kabale town. It was carved out of Rwanda in 1910 by the colonialists.

According to the Uganda Districts Information Handbook, 2022, Kisoro used to be part of the Kigezi District. In 1980, when South Kigezi was renamed Kabale District, Kisoro became a sub-district and also doubled as Bufumbira County. Covering 662 square kilometers, the mountainous sub-district has a population of over 386,681 people.

Although agriculture is carried out on a small scale due to limited land and the hilly terrain, the district ranks among the top food baskets in Uganda. Farmers sell some of their produce to middlemen who in turn sell them to consumers in urban areas.

The district is also famous as a tourist destination. It’s a treasured item, the park, is 14km from Kisoro town. You need a Four-Wheel-Drive to conquer the hilly terrain that takes you to the park. Along the way, you get to see farmers tending their terraced gardens, the numerous hills habituated by families in either tin roofs or grass-thatched houses, and children running up and down the rugged terrain. 

But as you draw closer to the park, you soon forget about the bad road as the refreshing cool breeze from the evergreen forest blows in your direction as though to welcome you. The sound of River Ntebeko as it flows can best be described as hypnotizing. Philip Sebagenzi, the manager of Amajembere Iwacu Community camp, says Ntebeko originates from Mount Mgahinga. From its source, it flows 50km downhill and spreads into small channels that supply the community with water.

If you visit the park intending to stay for just a day, then think again. Though gorilla trekking is the park’s most popular activity, a day’s visit is not enough for one to enjoy all the allures of the park. However, like trekking, they come at a fee. From forest walks that can last eight hours, if you went up Mt. Muhavura and back, to enjoying the view on community walks and reading about the way of life of gorillas, the 12 hours in a day are certainly not enough.

By interacting with community guides, you will learn how to differentiate one gorilla from the other. “Through the palm, nose, and fingerprints, one can identify a gorilla. And it is by looking at them that they give them names like Mark, Beijing, and Nshuti,” he says.

The Guide adds that when a silverback (adult male gorilla) thumps its chest, the sound can be heard 500m away. This is one of the ways it demonstrates its strength. Kisoro has two market days that feed its population with items ranging from fresh food to clothing. On Monday or Thursday, residents will be seen flocking to the designated market area.

Some traders get to these markets aboard Fuso trucks, dangerously packed like merchandise. As these trucks navigate the hilly terrain, outsiders can only at best hold their breath, because the whole experience is scary. 

The main market, which is now located in the town, used to be situated in the Uganda-DR Congo. However, it was relocated owing to the tense political situation in the 1990s which culminated in the 1994 Rwanda genocide and the subsequent unrest in DR Congo, which led to the overthrow of the Mobutu Sese Seko regime. Nevertheless, the market still attracts traders from Rwanda and DR Congo.

Simple Tips To Maintain The Proper Driving Posture

Driving comprises of very many skills and one of the most vital techniques of driving is posture but this is underlooked by many drivers. The proper driving posture is not only important for the better movement of the car and road safety but also for your body’s health. With a proper driving posture, you will never have back, bum, and leg aches, and also it enhances quick reflexes to avoid knocking something on the road or any kind of accident.

Therefore, don’t sideline the driving posture, always put it into consideration to have a better driving experience and also keep good health.  The simple tips to maintain the proper driving posture are very vital to travellers engaging in Uganda self-drive.

Ensure a good sitting position

This is the first step of a proper driving posture since the car is driven while seated. The best height for driving is when the eye level is about 8cm about the steering and the dashboard.  While the sight above the steering and the dashboard, the driver is able to clearly see the road wide, far, and near. This position enables the driver to see what is coming from all sides front, left, right.

The position of the driving seat is also essential. This should be slightly bent at an angle of bout 100⁰. The seat position enables the driver to easily look at both the side and driving mirrors. The driver is also advised not to lean against the seat for the good of the neck.

The leg and knee placing

The position of the legs and knee helps for the proper use of the driving pedals. The knees must be on the same level as the hips and at an upward posture of about 25 degrees. This gives the driver full grip and control of the driving pedal system. More to that the legs should be slightly apart the right foot must be the one to control the pedals and left rested away from the pedals and for the manual car, the left foot is required for the clutch pedal and the right foot does the rest of the job.  The seat should also be adjusted to ensure that the feet reach the pedal system.

Head restraint

The headrest must be at least 27.6 inches above the seating reference point. It is commendable that the driver must place the head in the middle of the head restraint. It always regulates your head from being so upfront at the steering wheel. The head restraints also limit the backward movement of the heads of the driver and other occupants in a collision and this prevents injury to the cervical vertebrate.

Mirror Position

The driving and side mirrors are integral features while driving. These mirrors help the driver to see what is coming from behind from the right, left, and in the middle. The side mirrors should be placed where the driver can see the vacuum of the side and also some far hind part of the car. The position of the mirror also helps in the parking of the car.

Lumbar Support

Some cars come with this sitting support cushion. Lumbar support helps the driver and the passengers improve their sitting posture while in the car. It is always placed where the back of the traveller rests while driving.

Make stoppages

Sitting for a long time is very dangerous because it can also lead to tiredness and back and neck aches. It is very crucial for one to take breaks from driving. Get out of the car and stretch your body and also take some refreshment especially while on a long-distance trip. The break should be about 10 minutes then get back to the road.  At least after every 150kilometre drive, take a break and relax and stretch for the proper flow of blood. Being in one posture especially sitting can lead to paralysation due to the flow of blood around the body. The body is meant to be functioning to allow easy flow of blood.

Top 7 Uganda’s Fairytale Destinations

Uganda is a rich destination in terms of culture! This East African country has several places that one can think are rewarding with fairytales. Though most tourists who go on Uganda safari want to spot wildlife, you can also enrich your experience by learning about the history and culture of people. Here are the best 7 destinations that you should consider adding to your travel plan;

Nakayima Tree

Nakayima Tree is an ancient historical site estimated to be 650 years old. History and folklore refer to Nakayima as a shrine for the Bachwezi people who were possessed with supernatural spirits and ruled western Uganda around the middle ages of 1100-1500 AD. Today, local people still believe in the spiritual powers that were passed down unto them by their ancestors and regularly visit the tree shrine to pray and receive what they pray for.

With the help of a guide, Nakayima tree provides a look back at the history and how traditional religious beliefs are still a very important part of life. The walk up the hill takes in beautiful views of Mubende town and plantations. While at the shrine tree you meet villagers and share some folks about the Nakayima, who was a wife of the Muchwezi king called Ndahura.

Nakayima Tree is located 15 minutes off the town of Mubende approximately 3 hours drive from Kampala. Tourists can access the shrine en route going to Kibale forest national park.

Punishment Island

Lake Bunyonyi with 19 islands located in southwestern Uganda is one of the popular destinations where tourists go to relax, swim enjoy breathtaking scenery, and discover traditional culture and history. The lake is home to many little birds, otters, and Crayfish and there’s a range of luxury and budget lodges.

Of the 19 islands, one is called the Punishment Island also known as Akampene in the local language where girls who got pregnant before marriage would be dumped and left to starve and die.

A boat or canoe ride gives access to the island during which you’re told about the history of the punishment as well as explore other islands.  There are also trails that explore the beautiful landscape for those who wish to spot birds and visit the Batwa pygmies.

In the Kigezi region of southwestern Uganda, people had traditional morals to guide their way of living. For example, young girls were not allowed to have sex and get pregnant before marriage. Thus any girl who would defy the moral would be punishable by death because it would bring shame to the whole family and village at large.

When a girl would be noticed to have got pregnant before marriage action was taken by putting her in a canoe and dumping her on the island to die from hunger or drown in water.

Many girls would starve and die how there were few who survived after being rescued by strangers. The practice of punishing girls in southwestern Uganda dates back to the 17^th century until it was prohibited in the 19^th century after the coming of colonialists and Christianity.

Lake Bunyonyi

Lake Bunyonyi is the second deepest lake in Africa located in southwestern Uganda about 1-hour drive from the Bwindi rain forest. Bunyonyi in the local language means a place of many little birds.

The lake is famous for its breathtaking scenery of 19 islands encircled by rolling terraced hills. Taking a boat or canoe ride is highly recommended to experience the beautiful views. Along the lake, you’ll find pleasant villages and hiking trails on the lakeside. Lake Bunyonyi also has historical islands such as Akampene the punishment island to visit while on the lake

The lake is perfect for a visit to Bwindi on a gorilla-tracking safari because there are lodges on the lakeside with nice beds, food and some offer swimming platforms and boat rides.

Bigo Bya Mugyenyi and Ntutsi mounds

Tourists who love to love to hear about ancient human history Bigo Bya Mugyenyi are a must-visit archeological earthworks dating back to the 13^th and 16^th centuries. The trench-like systems are associated with the landscape traditions of the Bachwezi kingdom. The trenches cover a distance of 10sqkm in Ntusi in Sembabule and run along the Ridge of Akagera River.

The trenches were named after Mugyenyi one of the princes of the Bachwezi, a kingdom of people with supernatural powers that introduced the Ankole longhorn cattle which now dominates the economy of the great lakes region.

Visiting Bigo Bya Mugyenyi in Ntutsi is a highlight of your Uganda safari a along with a visit to local villages.

Go Gorilla Trekking in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

Home to mountain gorillas, Mgahinga National Park is one of the best places to go to gorilla tracking in Africa. Located in Southwestern Uganda, the park has a diverse collection of tourism activities, though gorilla tracking stands out as the most popular adventure. The park also offers incredible opportunities for bird watching and golden monkey tracking yet the nearby 3 volcanoes offer great opportunities for hiking.

With Uganda hosting about 400 mountain gorillas, half the world’s total population, Mgahinga National park is one of the two places where a visitor is guaranteed to have a glance at the endangered species. Though the gorillas of Mgahinga were known to be good nomads, at times moving to the Rwanda side, today the Nyakagezi gorilla group offers opportunities to adventure seekers to visit and watch the endangered giants in the wild. For those looking for unique experiences on an Uganda Safari, a visit to Mgahinga National Park is a rewarding adventure that you should not miss.

The Nyakagezi Gorilla Group

Nyakagezi group size: 10 individuals including 1 silverback

The Nyakagezi Gorilla Group is the only habituated gorilla group in the Mgahinga forest. The group is led by Mark, the dominant Silverback, who likes traveling and keeps on crossing borders between Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) – therefore, the Nyakagezi group keeps on rotating from Mgahinga forest to Volcanoes bamboo forest and to Virunga National park. Over the past few years, however, the group has been stable and they are trying to settle on the Ugandan side since November 2012, and are likely to stay for a while. In May 2013 when a newborn baby gorilla arrived, increasing the group to 10 members- the number of gorillas goes on increasing as they go on multiplying. On that note, therefore, Mgahinga forest National park is expected to get more Gorilla groups in near future- we expect splits from the Nyakagezi group.

Despite the unpredictable behavior and movements, permits for this group can now be booked at the Uganda Wildlife Authority. The Mgahinga Gorilla National Park gives updated information about the availability or absence of the Nyakagezi gorilla group in Uganda.
