Gold Meets Silver

Mgahinga & Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Adventure

Embark on an unforgettable journey through two of Uganda’s most captivating destinations Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This itinerary combines the mystique of volcanic landscapes with the once-in-a-lifetime thrill of meeting the majestic mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

Tucked in the Virunga volcanic range, Mgahinga offers a rare blend of adventure and cultural experiences. Hike through lush montane forests and climb one of the dramatic volcanoes—Mount Gahinga, Sabyinyo, or Muhabura—for sweeping views across Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Along the way, encounter golden monkeys, a playful and endangered primate species found only in this region. For a cultural highlight, spend time with the Batwa community, the forest’s indigenous people, who share stories of their ancient way of life.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – Gorilla Trekking

Your journey continues in the world-renowned Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to almost half of the planet’s remaining mountain gorillas. Here, the highlight is undoubtedly the gorilla trekking experience. Venture deep into the dense forest with expert trackers who guide you to a family of gorillas. Witnessing their gentle behavior up-close—watching the infants play, mothers nurture, and silverbacks command the group—is a profound and moving encounter that leaves a lifelong impression.
