We had the most incredible experience Gorilla trekking here. It was a beautiful walk to the gorillas, it wasn’t difficult trekking at all and the mountain scenery around us was stunning. We then had 9 gorillas around us and they were really easy to see. There were 3 giant Silverbacks in the pack and a baby. They played and ate near us and the baby played everywhere. We were also so lucky to just have two of us in the group. Our tour guide was exceptional and taught us so much about the gorillas and the land. This was an unforgettable experience and we can highly recommend this park. It also had one of the largest gorillas in the world there. If we could give 6 stars we would.

Volcanoes National Park is an absolute marvel, 🦍 The opportunity to witness the majestic mountain gorillas up close is an experience like no other. The park's breathtaking landscapes and rich biodiversity make it a haven for nature lovers and conservation enthusiasts. The knowledgeable guides ensure a safe and informative trek, adding to the overall adventure. Don't miss the chance to embark on this unforgettable journey! 🦍🌿 #GorillaEncounters #VolcanoesNationalPark

I cannot recommend this place enough; it's truly one of the best destinations I've experienced in Uganda. The staff's friendliness and warm welcome were exceptional. They prioritize your safety to the highest degree, and the team of guides is impeccably trained. At no point did I feel unsafe; their professionalism ensures worry-free enjoyment as long as you follow their instructions. The national park's beauty is awe-inspiring, ranging from bamboo forests to exotic trees, plants, and flowers reminiscent of scenes from the Avatar movie. The variety of stunning locations to explore around here is remarkable. Opting to climb Mount Sabyinyo or visit the gorillas guarantees an incredible experience. The park boasts a diverse array of wildlife, including elephants, buffalos, silverback gorillas, and golden monkeys, among others. For those eager to see the gorillas, the $700 fee feels like an absolute bargain. The gorillas are expertly tracked by a professional team, ensuring their location is known at all times, making it a breeze to find them. Personally, I chose to hike Mount Sabyinyo this time, foregoing the gorilla encounter. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend staying for a week in Kisoro; it's an extraordinary location that allows you to explore all the finest attractions – a truly worthwhile experience. In my opinion, this place deserves a perfect 5-star rating for its astonishing natural beauty and exceptional offerings.

Awesome , I hiked mountain Muhabura. I loved all the beautiful flowers, luckily we met the Gorillas along the way. 3 silverbacks , very huge and humble Rukudo,Ndugutse and Mark. I can only relate it to life because it wasn't easy ,but you just have to keep the zeal that you will get there . On my way to Kisoro , there was one perfect corner with a Lake Bunyonyi View. Spetacular indeed . I loved every bit of the western Ugandan.

One of the smallest parks in Uganda but with the best Gorilla experience, very clear views and short hike, you also meet other animals like golden monkey and forest buffalo

It's is really lovely. The scenery was so beautiful. Went up to the peak. Entire round trek took up 17km and 7 hours. However, it rained for most of the trek which made climbing hard but descend even harder. Was a worthwhile experience though

Médium to hard trek depending on your fitness but well worth the 2 hour uphill hike. We started at 2346m and climbed to 2720m to reach the bamboo forest which is the golden monkey habit and 80% of their diet is bamboo shoots. These beautiful creatures are unique and only found in the Mgahinga Gorilla NP. We were very privileged to be allowed to watch them. The ones which we saw belonged to a troupe of 80-120 which took 10 years to habituate to human presence.

So beautiful, rewarding and fascinating.. Gorilla trekking is such a thrilling moment one wouldn't want to miss out.

Was indeed an exceptional experience! Guide & trackers are doing a great job!'Hopefully they protect the area as it is with one group a day. No need to give as much permits as Rwanda does.

I did my Gorilla trekking in Rushaga, but was the encouraged to trek another day for the Golden Monkeys, which are located here. I have a heart/lung issue, which makes climbing (even steps) difficult. When I did the gorilla trekking, my guide communicated this to the organizers, and I was put in a group with older couples. It was perfect because we could go at a nice, slow, steady pace and take breaks. Unfortunately there are only 2 groups of Golden Monkeys in Mgahinga, only one group is habituated. So wherever the monkeys are, you have to get there too - there's no opting for a closer family. I definitely felt like I was going to die the entire trip up the mountain, and felt awful that I was slowing others down, where as I was not the day before with the gorillas. Having said that, the Golden Monkeys are a ton of fun to see once you get there. Very playful and bouncing from tree to tree. A little hard to get pictures because of this, but was still fun to watch. If you're in good shape without health problems, I'm sure this would be easier for you. They also offer other tours besides the golden monkeys. You can climb to the top of one of the volcano mountains, walk a pygmy trail, gloria trek, etc.

The guards, guides and porters were all top notch. It took us 2.5 hours to find the gorillas, but the guides were willing to rest a lot, and explain everything along the way.

Thank you to Richard Chief Warden, Moses and Clovis from Uganda Wildlife Authority for a warm welcome (despite the drizzle!) In May I went bird watching and saw five lifers within a 30-minute walk. Can't wait to come back and bird Sabinyo Gorge. I tracked the golden monkeys here a few years ago and absolutely loved it. On my most recent visit, we walked up to the viewpoint and later visited the Batwa Village, just outside the park, constructed on land by Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust. I haven't tracked the gorillas here but have heard great reports. Apparently the Mgahinga gorillas are a particularly engaging family. #diaryofamuzungu

Uganda mountain gorillas rock. What an fantastic, amazing experience.

An experience to not miss! Tour guides are extremely knowledgeable. The tracking can be some bush whacking so be prepared. But they do offer porters for hire to carry your bags if needed. If needed you can also hire a crew to carry you. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life. This experience is worth every penny!!

If you want to see the Gorillas, this is place. Great experience

I did Mt. Sabinyo Hike and it was a wonderful experience. It was great to stand at the shared boarder by Uganda, DRC and Rwanda

The gorilla national park left me in awe. The immersive experience of observing these magnificent creatures and the different avian species in their natural habitat is unparalleled. The park's commitment to conservation efforts is commendable, and the knowledgeable guides enhanced the educational aspect of the visit. The lush surroundings and diverse wildlife contribute to a truly enriching adventure. While the trek can be challenging, the reward of encountering gorillas in their habitat makes it an unforgettable journey. For the true lovers of flora and fauna, you'll definitely find your trips worth here.Solid five stars for the remarkable conservation and captivating wildlife experience.

Incredible hike through the forest to the Golden Monkeys. The guides were attentive and friendly, ensuring we were able to make the most of our hour admiring the monkeys in their nature habitat. Before our briefing for the hike, we were shown traditional dance and music from the local community which was beautiful.

A unique experience hiking up Mt. Sabinyo & tracking Golden Monkeys

Great experience!! After 6hrs trekking we finally found the family of 9 amazing gorillas.

When for the mountain hike, toughest experience ever but I loved it.

Marvelous experience. Rangers and trackers are experienced and helpful. We were able to track an entire family of 9 as they moved throughout the forest. Permits are steep, but you will remember this experience for a lifetime.

The true understanding of the kingdom of the apes

Mgahinga Gorilla Park is an Outdoor Enthusiast's Dream become true. Gorilla Trekking without the Crowds of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. You trek the Nyakagezi Family that has 3 Silverbacks - all family members . Volcano Climbing at its best - Mount Sabinyo with its three peaks where you step into Rwanda, Congo and back into Uganda without a passport. The views from above are stunning. Golden Monkey Trekking or the Habituation Experience with golden monkeys flitting by you from above, to the sides of you- amazing experience. Hiking - the Sabinyo Gorge Trail is a a one of a kind trail in Uganda that takes in the best of hiking, scenic wonders, wildlife and birds. Authentic Cultural Experiences especially if you stay at Mount Gahinga Lodge which has just built a Batwa Village to about 130 landless Batwa a home. The Interactive Batwa Trail you see the forest through the eyes of its first people is well worth doing. Mgahinga Gorilla Park - is still off-the-beaten Tourist Track for most but not for much longer.

(Translated by Google) We had a tour for two, because the park is not so crowded. The gorilla group is very impressive because it consists among other things of four silverbacks. (Original) Wir hatten eine Tour zu zweit, weil der Park nicht so überlaufen ist. Die Gorilla Gruppe ist sehr beeindruckend, weil sie unter anderem aus vier Silberrücken besteht.

A mazing place to tour!

(Translated by Google) The park is crowded but worth a visit (Original) Il parco è affollato ma vale la pena visitarlo

Great on clear days.

A must visit. Splendid service by UWA staff

Ikirunga home stay welcomes you to view the Muhabura mountain ranges

Yellow monkeys were so fun to watch!!! They didn't care about us, just played with each other all around us. There were so many of them, you usually had a view of your own.

So colorful

(Translated by Google) If you want to see gorillas in freedom, this is the place, also you can see golden monkeys and enjoy a walk through the volcanoes (Original) Si quieres ver gorilas en libertad, este es el sitio, además tb puedes ver golden monkeys y disfrutar de una caminata por los volcanes

Simply an extraordinary experience: seekers and rangers (Jonah the expedition leader ranger), addicted to the cause and extremely professional, allowed us to reach a family with three silver backs after more than two hours of walking, on the slopes of the Muhavura Volcano. I sincerely believe that, thanks to the rangers and to the personnel of the NP known during that trek and the daily regulation of visitors to the park, the wonders offered by this hidden part of the African continent, threatened heavily by the inevitable requests for anthropization and for increasingly large spaces for crops, can really be preserved.

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is a home to a number of wild animals Mountain Gorillas and Golden monkeys makes it a must visit if you happen to step in the perl of Africa 🌍 (Uganda).

Mountain Gorillas trekking was a rewarding experience

The best of the best of Uganda Mountain Gorillas

Nice, well maintained park. We did the mount sabinyo hike. Although it is only 18 km, it is a very demanding hike. Starts of easy, but then it rises. You climb untill 1 pm, then you return no matter where you are on the climb.

Come here for Gorilla Habituation and view different kinds of thick Vegetation

We went for Golden Monkey tracking. The rangers gave different prices every person we asked. They ended up asking 100 USD per adult and 80 for kids (one is 4 years old). They said we have to be there at 7 to start at 8 and try to discourage us. At the end one ranger tried to SELL US A CHAMALEON. He offered it for 20 dollars and reduce to 10 after we said no. Unbelievable!

Pretty amazing to walk into the jungle with gorillas, chimpanzees, and golden monkeys (not on all one trek). But be prepared, depending on where the primates are, your hike can be a pleasurable hour long hike, or a multi hour trek deep into the jungles. Def bring water, food, layers for clothing and good footgear.

The home all kinds of. GORRILLAS ,mountain hiyiking,chimpanzees,bird trucking and all sorts of tours

(Translated by Google) Incredibly cool experience to see the gorillas. Super companions. Make sure you know where you need to be, signs not very clear. (Original) Ontzettend gave ervaring om de gorilla's te zien. Superaardige begeleiders. Zorg dat je goed weet waar je moet zijn, bebording niet heel duidelijk.

It was incredible seeing our cousins Friendly rangers but they keep asking for tips

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is full of benefits. (Original) ご利益がありそうな雰囲気がいっぱいです。

The place was cool, nice view of the lake, customer service was good.. I appreciate

We did the Mt Sabinyo hike and whilst very challenging, it was incredibly spectacular! The UWA staff were super helpful and a wealth of knowledge. If you come to Uganda and you enjoy hiking, you should not miss this hike!

Climbing up the Muhavura Volcano. Befor you climbed up the volcano be shure that this is only for fitt people. We were a young and fitt group between 19-21 Years and sometimes we really struggle. Also, our guide was not really a guide he was almost every time 100m in front of us and don't wait fore us. A couple (around 30 Years) turn around after 10 min hiking. Also be shure that you have warm clothes and a lot of weather and sweets whit you :)

Hiking Muhavura 😂. What an amazing experience💪💪💪 We hiked to the top which was challenging, made it to the first hut, continued to Second hut and finally to the top. The views were exceptional and the feeling was just more excitement!! The Rangers were very helpful and am glad that I made to the top. My next challenge is Rwenzori after Elgon I can't wait for more love for my Uganda

Staff extremely friendly. Was fortunate to only need a short hike to see the gorillas. Gorillas approached several times occasionally even brushing against us. From fellow trekkers who went to Bwindi, apparently there one barely able to even see a gorilla in full as most were hiding behind foliage in Bwindi.

Was bery cool with nice view

Natural and good cool mountains and green environment best for hiking and tracking Gorillas

Amazing visit at the gorillas after a long hike up to the mountain hills

It was real nice feeling to nature lovers and hiking funs

(Translated by Google) Our visit to the gorillas - a breathtaking experience! We were there in no time. Unfortunately, the gorilla group did not stick to the standard 7 meters distance to us - we were in the middle of the group! (Original) Unser Besuch bei den Gorillas - ein atemberaubendes Erlebnis! Wir waren innerhalb kürzester Zeit vor Ort. Die Gorillagruppe hielt sich leider nicht an die Vorgabe 7 Meter Abstand zu uns zu halten - wir waren mitten in der Gruppe!

Real nature

Just the most fantastic experience!

Amazing

Great place for Gorilla watching

Friendly Gorilla but be careful with them

Amazing

Great

Brilliant walk to the Golden monkeys

Wow best experience ever. The gorillas were smart and freindly

I tried to climb one of the volcanos, it was super hard but I had a great experience.

Only Home of Mountain Gorillas in the World. Lovely and knowledgeable Game wardens

I was very lucky to not have to hike very far to get to the gorillas.

Super

We underestimated this hike, Mt. Muhabura is one of its kind. Deepheat saved the day, we made it to the top.

So fantastic I enjoyed the gorillas

This park is an awesome place to visit. You will track gorillas and golden monkeys and also get a chance to hike 3 volcanic mountains. A great story and experience about Batwa(pygmies) also awaits here

Very exciting place, breathtaking views but be sure to carry extra warm clothing😊

If you love hiking, this is a place, beautiful and mind blowing scenic views

Mighty gorillas

Very beautiful gorillas

Look at these photos!!!

Amazing game park with excellent special wild life. Beautiful bird species. It's well know for it's famous endangered golden monkeys. The only park where gold meets silver. I love it. Highly recommended for every travellers bucket list.
