Explore Mgahinga Gorilla National Park with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours

Your Gateway to Mountain Gorillas and More
Nestled in Uganda’s far southwestern corner, where the borders of Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo meet, lies a hidden treasure: Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Though it’s the smallest of Uganda’s national parks, Mgahinga offers big experiences—especially for those seeking the ultimate gorilla trekking adventure.

At Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, we don’t just take you on a safari—we connect you to Africa’s wild beauty, culture, and adventure. And Mgahinga is one of our most exclusive offerings.

Why Choose Mgahinga for Gorilla Trekking?

Mgahinga is part of the larger Virunga Conservation Area, which spans three countries and is home to more than half the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. While Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest may be more famous, Mgahinga provides a quieter, more exclusive trekking experience.

You’ll track the Nyakagezi gorilla family, a group known for its stable, playful nature and charismatic silverbacks. With fewer visitors, the trek feels more personal, and the photographic opportunities are unmatched.

Key Highlights of Gorilla Trekking with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours:

  • Personalized attention with small-group treks
  • Expert, English-speaking guides with deep knowledge of the terrain and primates
  • Ethical tourism that supports local conservation and communities
  • Guaranteed gorilla permits, accommodations, and transfers

Beyond Gorillas: Mgahinga’s Rich Tapestry of Adventure

While gorillas are the main attraction, Mgahinga is a multi-dimensional destination. With Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, you can:

1. Track Golden Monkeys

These rare and vibrant primates are found only in the Virunga Mountains. Tracking them is a thrilling addition to your itinerary.

2. Climb a Volcano

Choose from three dormant volcanoes:

  • Mt. Sabinyo – Stand in Uganda, Rwanda, and DRC at the same time.
  • Mt. Gahinga – A gentle climb through lush bamboo forests.
  • Mt. Muhabura – The highest and most challenging, with panoramic views.

3. Discover Batwa Culture

Join our Batwa Trail Experience, a guided walk with the indigenous Batwa pygmies—Mgahinga’s original forest dwellers. Learn traditional skills and hear powerful stories of resilience and cultural heritage.
