Mgahinga National Park

Mgahinga National Park in southwestern Uganda protects rare mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. Covering 33.7 square kilometers, it forms part of the larger Virunga Conservation Area, shared with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Gorilla trekking offers visitors a chance to see the Nyakagezi gorilla family in their natural habitat. Golden monkey tracking provides another unique wildlife experience. The park’s scenic trails lead through bamboo forests, crater lakes, and volcanic peaks, including Mount Gahinga, Mount Muhabura, and Mount Sabyinyo.

Cultural encounters with the Batwa people reveal their traditional forest lifestyle. The park’s cool climate and stunning landscapes make it a perfect destination for adventure, wildlife, and cultural exploration.
