4 Days 3 Nights Mgahinga National Park Gorilla Tracking Safari is a gorilla safari adventure taking you for gorilla trekking in Mgahinga National Park.
Mgahinga Gorilla Park is situated southwards of Uganda about 540 kilometers from Kampala (Uganda's Capital City) and offers activities such as Gorilla tracking, birding, cultural visit, hiking and mountain/ volcano climbing.
The park's wildlife includes mountain gorillas, endangered golden monkeys, black-and-white colobus monkeys, elephants, bushbucks and buffalos.
Your guide will know which areas are most frequented by each species of animal. There are over 115 bird species that have been recorded here, including several endemic to the Albertine Rift.
Ruwenzori turacos, handsome francolins, olive woodpeckers and western green tinker birds are among the species you can hope to spot in the forested hillsides.
Mgahinga National Park is a full day’s drive from Kampala to Kisoro, and a further 30 minutes to the Park entrance. Kisoro is the nearest town.
While it is still warm in the sunshine, Mgahinga’s high altitude means it gets very cold. The nights are very chilly indeed – you will be glad for your lodge’s open fire in the evenings!

Golden Monkey Tracking: Hike through stunning bamboo forests to see this attractive and endangered primate
Bird Watching: Trek to the Rugezi Swamp, the Sabinyo Gorge or the bamboo forest for the best bird watching opportunities. There are over 115 species here.

Great scenery of Rwanda, DR.Congo, and the Virunga conservation area, the Ruwenzori, Lake Edward and Bwindi impenetrable forest can be seen while at the peaks of different mountains.
Batwa Forest Trail: Mgahinga forests are known to be homes for the indigenous Batwa hunters, fierce warriors and fruit gatherers who depended on the entire forests for survival.
This unique cultural trail is led by Batwa guides, and visitors will learn about day-to-day life as a hunter-gatherer in the forest, and watch an astonishing performance in the sacred Ngarama Cave.
