Uganda is home to more than half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, found in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Gorilla trekking offers a rare opportunity to spend one hour with these endangered primates in their natural habitat. Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is also the only destination in Uganda where golden monkeys can be tracked, making this itinerary unique for combining both experiences in a short time.
Arriving via Kigali International Airport shortens travel time significantly (approx. 4–5 hours drive to Kisoro), making it ideal for a 4-day safari.
