Explore Mgahinga National Park-Where Gold meets Silver

• Mgahinga National Park is an incredible gem tucked into the folds of the Virunga Mountains—where Gold meets Silverback isn’t just a slogan, it’s a promise of rare encounters and unforgettable landscapes with the misty volcanoes to the endangered primates living in the unique ecosystem

What Makes Mgahinga So Special is the park being Primate Paradise Mountain Gorillas-The park is one of only two places in Uganda where you can track these majestic apes.

The park is home to Golden Monkeys-Endemic to the Albertine Rift, these endangered primates are found only in Mgahinga and adjacent parks in Rwanda and DRC.

Volcanic Majesty makes the destination very unique with chain of volcanoes like Mt. Muhabura (4,127m) Mount Muhabura is a beacon in every sense of the word.

Nestled at the peak is a crater lake approximately 40 meters wide, shimmering like a hidden jewel in the sky.
