Gorillas and golden monkeys make the park unique in Uganda.

We didn't visit the gorillas here but the Golden Monkeys. Although we were in the middle of a group of 40 to 60 animals it was quite difficult to get a good shot because these monkeys were very active and jumped and jumped around all the time. Nevertheless a very great experience!

The weather is nice but the road need to be repaired. The 'free' massage up to our accommodation tired everyone out.

A great choice for independent travelers as park permits are much easier to obtain than Bwindi and saves you having to buy at a premium from a tour operator. Fewer tourists, a rugged camping spot, and several excellent (but challenging) hikes make Mgahinga a great choice for those looking to go slightly further afield.

Amazing hike, through volcano terrain, to try and locate the very rare Golden Monkeys. We found them, in amidst the bamboo forest.. really amazing..! Also, a must see, for fans or rare primates, volcano hikes, beautiful terrain.
