Why we love it
Hear the pounding of the gorilla's chest and the rummaging of the leaves as you track the family through the Mgahinga National Park from the lodge.
Track these playful and endangered primates, characterised by their bright golden bodie, in the foothills of the volcanic mountains of Mgahinga National Park.
Visit the community of Uganda's longest surviving tribes for a chance to witness how they have lived for generations in the forest, as well as their traditional dance and song.
Embark on a challenging hike in the morning to climb one of the volcanoes in the Virunga chain to enjoy a rewarding panoramic view at the top.
Enjoy a more leisurely walk from Gahinga Lodge to the top of a small hill where you can look down into the Kisozi Caldera, formed by volcanic eruptions.
Don't miss the opportunity to see some of Uganda's 1,000 species of birds, 150 of which are endemic to the region.

It was absolutely magical. As soon as we turned the corner and saw the first gorilla, I started to cry because I was so happy. They were also fantastic lodge recommendations from the True Travel team! Bwindi Lodge was hands down my favourite, amd we also loved getting out of the car and hiking to get there. As you’ll see, my dream of being close to the gorillas really came true. We had such a wonderful time, and thank you for your help making it come to life.
