Golden Monkey Trekking
Overview
Embark on an exhilarating search for the vibrant Golden Monkeys deep within the Mgahinga Gorilla and Bwindi Impenetrable National Parks. This unique activity focuses on tracking these rare, playful primates, which are endemic to this mountainous region spanning Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo. Prepare for a truly thrilling day of discovery.
The trekking, led by experienced guides, takes you through lush bamboo thickets and high-altitude moorland, the golden monkeys' preferred foraging grounds. While these lively creatures are the main attraction—charming you with their bright fur and acrobatic movements—the dense canopy also conceals other significant residents. You may encounter diverse forest species, including the elusive forest buffalo or various unique, endemic bird species.
Beyond the primates, the trek unveils the spectacular natural environment of the parks. You will journey across a striking landscape of ancient volcano slopes, often blanketed in mist, featuring rare Afro-alpine vegetation and sweeping views of the entire valley. It is an unforgettable blend of active adventure and irreplaceable wildlife observation.
