3 Days Mgahinga Gorilla Trekking Safari
Duration
Overview
Located in South-western Uganda, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is well known as the second home to the mountain gorillas in Uganda. The park is Uganda’s smallest national park and although most visitors opt for the famous Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for the gorillas, this small national park is worth visiting mainly because of its diversity.
Mgahinga Gorilla National park was established as Gorilla game sanctuary in 1930 but later achieved national park status in 1991. The park boasts of 76 mammal species and 180 species of birds, 24 of these species are considered to be endemic to the Albertine Rift region.
A gorilla trekking safari in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is a fulfilling adventure that brings you closer to the gentle giants amidst a thick rain forest. We usually recommend this Mgahinga tour for visitors who would like a much easier hike compared to Bwindi National Park and for visitors looking to add golden monkey trekking to their tour. The park is the only place where one can trek the golden monkeys in Uganda.
