3 Days Gorilla Trekking Safari in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and Batwa Cultural Experience

After an early breakfast at the lodge, transfer to Ntebeko Visitors’ Centre, the park headquarters, for registration and a detailed briefing by Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. You will be guided on trekking rules, safety measures, and expected behavior while in the presence of mountain gorillas.

The gorilla trek begins as you hike through bamboo forests and montane vegetation along the slopes of the Virunga Volcanoes and trekking time varies between 2 to 6 hours, depending on the movement of the gorillas.

Once the gorillas are located, you will be allowed one hour in close vicinity with them observing their behaviors, interactions, and daily routines. This is a truly life-changing wildlife encounter and one of Africa’s most rewarding experiences.

After the trek, return to the starting point for lunch and relaxation at the lodge. In the afternoon, enjoy a Batwa pygmy’s Cultural experience, learning about their traditions, hunting skills, and a lot of their stories.
