Exclusive Gorilla Trekking Safari in Uganda with Volcanoes Safaris
Description
A once-in-a-lifetime adventure awaits!
Discover the breath-taking beauty of Uganda's Virunga Volcanoes with this 4-day, 3-night luxury Great Ape Safari at the stunning Mount Gahinga Lodge, generously donated by Volcanoes Safaris.
Nestled at the base of the Virunga Mountains, Mount Gahinga Lodge is an intimate retreat offering the perfect base for tracking the majestic mountain gorillas of Mgahinga National Park.
Your safari starts and ends in Kigali, Rwanda, crossing into Uganda based at Mount Gahinga Lodge.
Trekking mountain gorillas through the dense African forests is a magical experience. Only eight visitors are allowed per gorilla group each day, and to minimize possible transmission of human diseases, visitors are asked to maintain a distance of 10m from the gorillas. Typically, tracking can take from 3 to 8 hours and requires some agility and fitness; however, all fitness levels can be accommodated and no one should feel deterred from missing this once in a lifetime experience.
Your unforgettable journey includes:
• One guided gorilla trek, where you’ll hike through lush rainforest to encounter one of the world’s rarest and most awe-inspiring primates in their natural habitat.
• A golden monkey tracking experience, giving you the chance to see these playful and endangered primates up close.
• A cultural experience with the Batwa community, one of Africa’s oldest indigenous tribes, to learn about their rich traditions and history.
• Luxury accommodation at Mount Gahinga Lodge for 3 nights, including all meals, house drinks, and personalised service in a breathtaking wilderness setting.
This exclusive package is a true bucket-list experience for any wildlife lover, offering extraordinary encounters with Gorillas and golden monkeys.
