Kisoro -
2008
Kisoro is a town just about the end of the road in south western Uganda.
It is the nearest town to the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and is very close to the
mountainous corner where Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo meet.
It is located in a wonderful setting under the peaks of the Mufumbiro Mountains which are part
of the Virunga chain of volcanoes and home to the rare mountain gorillas.
We visited a Pgymy village near Kisoro.
They have interbred with the other tribes and now are not all short in stature.
They put on a singing and dancing show for us.
The music was from the beating of a "drum" - an empty plastic container.
