3 Days in Mgahinga National Park
3 Days in Mgahinga National Park
Spend 3 Days in Mgahinga National Park with this 3 Day Mgahinga gorilla trekking safari. This national park is another great place to trek gorillas from only that it harbors fewer mountain gorillas compared to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Most gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda take place in Bwindi more reason as to why you should try exploring this magical national park that lies along the Virunga Mountains.
Highlights
- Day 1: Pick up and transfer to Mgahinga
- Day 2: Gorilla trekking
- Day 3: Travel to Kampala
Day 1: Transfer to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
You will meet our local guide just before breakfast on the first day of your 3 days at Mgahinga Gorilla Safari, and then drive off to southwestern Uganda to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. We shall have a stopover at the Equator for coffee and some bit of photography. The Equator line separates the northern and southern hemispheres of the world hence, a perfect opportunity for you to take photographs with both legs on different hemispheres of the world. We shall then drive off straight to Kisoro and relax as we prepare for gorilla tracking the following day.
Lodging: Mount Gahinga Safari Lodge/Mucha Hotel/Amajambere Iwacu Camp.
Meal plan: Half board
Day 2: Gorilla trekking
The second day of your 3 days Mgahinga gorilla safari covers the main activity, Gorilla tracking. We shall have an early morning breakfast and then proceed to a specified meeting point for pre-briefing before we make our final destination in the jungles of Mgahinga to trek the mountain gorillas. Whilst on the activity, we shall trek through the forests and bamboo cover as we search for gorillas. Gorilla tracking is a very physical activity and you might get tired along the way but believe me, there is nothing greater than gazing into mountain gorillas as you take photographs and make physical gestures with them.
Lodging: Mount Gahinga Safari Lodge/Mucha Hotel/Amajambere Iwacu Camp.
Meal plan: Full board
Day 3: Travel back to Kampala
After having an early morning breakfast on the last day of your 3 days Mgahinga gorilla safari, we shall then embark on our return journey to Kampala as we drive through the beautiful, refreshing grass plains of western Uganda as we look through the hills of the region that was nicknamed “the little Switzerland of Africa”. This area has exceptional panoramic views that will surely make your morning so refreshing and relaxing! We shall make another stopover at the equator before we proceed to Kampala to catch up with your flight back home.
