Visiting Ugandan Gorillas

After an early breakfast, head to the Ntebeko briefing center to prepare for gorilla tracking in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. This park is home to the famous Nyakagezi family, known for having multiple silverbacks. Guided by experienced park rangers, you’ll trek through the bamboo forest for an up-close, magical encounter with these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
