Mgahinga Gorilla National Park

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, located in the southwestern corner of Uganda, is a small but significant protected area covering approximately 33.7 square kilometres. Despite its size, the park holds immense ecological importance as it is part of the larger Virunga Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site shared between Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The primary draw of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is its population of critically endangered mountain gorillas, which roam the dense forests of the Virunga Mountains. Visitors to the park have the unique opportunity to explore the gorilla trekking expeditions, guided by experienced trackers, to observe these gentle giants in their natural habitat.

In addition to gorilla trekking, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park offers other outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and cultural encounters with the Batwa pygmy community. The park's diverse landscapes, which include bamboo forests, montane vegetation, and volcanic peaks, provide a stunning backdrop for exploration and wildlife viewing.

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park Safari offers an unforgettable wilderness experience for visitors seeking adventure and wildlife encounters in the heart of the Virunga Mountains.

“Little Rock Safaris went above and beyond our expectations! We went on a safari tour to Murchison Falls National Park and it was so fun and they made the trip so smooth even when our group was so slow moving they adapted to our pace. ”

“I travelled with Littlerock in July, and it was rewarding right from the pick-up at Entebbe to drop-off. The team ensured our itinerary ran smoothly, and their choice of accommodation, especially during the Gorilla trekking and the Queen Elizabeth visit, was top-notch.”

Agnes Karamagi
