Today, after an early Morning breakfast Prepare yourself for an encounter with the Mountain Gorillas. Mgahinga Park boasts both Mountain Gorillas and golden monkeys. This park is an extension of the Volcanoes N. Park onto the Ugandan side and is considered as the smallest park in Uganda. It also hosts five other species of primate, over 60 types butterflies and close to 200 birds species.

Given the fact that gorillatracking time is unpredictable, it is difficult to foresee how many hours you will actually hike. The escapade of tracking the gorillas in the superb ecosystem of the park will be passionate for the adventurers. It may take 2 hrs up to 5 hours or more and you should be prepared to walk long distance in steep and muddy conditions, sometimes with rain overhead, before you encounter any gorillas. “The excitement of seeing the gorillas makes it all worthwhile!” Briefing will be given on how to handle or behave with these gentle giants always at the park office before you embark on this adventure. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Uganda’s very own ‘Gorillas in the Mist. You will spend an hour just observing these amazing creatures in their own habitat nonchalant by your visit.

Return to your lodge for the lodge. Afterwards, head out for village visit to the Batwa Community. You will be treated to a bit of history and then dancing and demonstrations of hunting techniques of old, by members of the Batwa community.
