the peak behind the mountain gorillas on this rwandan postage stamp
http://www.pibburns.com/cryptost/rwan363.jpg stands a good chance of being
mount sabinyo or sabinio
the possibly unique volcanic tp shared by rwanda with uganda & the congo
democratic republic

the identification seems likely because the mountain gives its name to the
sabinio group of 320 mountain gorillas living mainly on its rwandan slopes
& comprising more than half the world population of the species

all 300 other mountain gorillas live under a different name & mountain in
uganda
