    Kisoro /Uganda/

    altitude: 1,890 m/6,200 ft
    estimated population: 18,000

    Kisoro, the prettiest town of Uganda’s Gorilla Highlands region, is situated in an idyllic setting below the Virunga volcanoes. It hosts colourful cross-border markets on Mondays and Thursdays and has a strong beekeeping community.

    It is a handy base for adventures in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and can also be a useful starting point for adventures in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park due to the Uganda Wildlife Authority office in town. There is an airport at an entrance to Kisoro, with regular internal flights.
