Stops in Kabale or Kisoro towns offer a taste of the local charm before reaching the national park.

Registration and a briefing precede the trek, ensuring you are well-informed about the dos and don’ts. The trek can be demanding, requiring a certain level of fitness, but the reward of spending an hour with these incredible creatures is unparalleled. Upon a successful tracking experience, return to the park offices for a celebratory certificate and then back to your lodge for relaxation and overnight.
Day Three: Golden Monkey Tracking in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
Commence the day with an early breakfast and packed lunch before heading to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Register and receive a briefing on the golden monkey trek, an enchanting experience that follows the unique lives of these primates.
