Product Info

Trek up the mountains of the Mgahinga National Park in Uganda and get the opportunity to see the magnificent mountain gorillas in their natural habitat on a 1-day guided tour from Kigali.

Get picked up at 3:00 AM from your hotel in Kigali and travel northwest to Mgahinga National Park for approximately 3 hours.

Enjoy breakfast served à la carte style with a variety of fresh pieces of bread, pastries, and hot and cold selections at a hotel close to the park.  

Make a brief stop at the border to clear with customs and then continue to the National Park headquarters to meet your guides for the day.

Embark on a once in a lifetime experience of tracking mountain gorillas. The trekking may be fairly strenuous; up to 3 hours or longer at a relatively high altitude. 

Tracking the gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga is a magical experience. These massive primates are extremely rare, with less than 1000 living today.

Once you spot the gorillas you are allowed to spend an hour watching them. You have an opportunity to get within meters of the families. This is perhaps one of the most breath-taking experiences on earth.

Return and stop for lunch in town and later proceed to Kigali. If leaving Kigali, you will arrive in time to transfer to the airport for your onward flight, or if time allows, do some last-minute shopping before departure.
