Tucked away in the misty hills of southwestern Uganda lies one of the country’s most breathtaking treasures — Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. This gem of a park, part of the great Virunga volcanic range, is where golden monkeys leap from bamboo groves, mountain gorillas roam the forest floor, and ancient volcanoes pierce the skies. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, a hiker seeking a thrilling challenge, or a cultural explorer interested in the Batwa heritage trail, Mgahinga offers an experience that’s nothing short of magical.
The park is home to the famed Nyakagezi gorilla family, offering one of the most reliable gorilla trekking experiences in East Africa. As you trek through dense vegetation with a seasoned guide, each step brings you closer to unforgettable encounters. But it’s not just about the gorillas — the park’s trio of extinct volcanoes (Mount Gahinga, Mount Muhabura, and Mount Sabinyo) provides the perfect backdrop for scenic photography and challenging day hikes.
