The gorillas were certainly the highlight of our trip! The jungle scenery was breathtaking.

Gorillas and golden monkeys make the park unique in Uganda.

The roads leading to this park are extremely rugged. The park itself is really nice, unfortunately my time here was too short to get a good feel of everything this park has to offer. That said the golden monkey trek was really good in-spite of all the rain.

Probably our favorite park in Uganda. We hiked mountain Sabinyo and got to stand in three countries at once. The hike is rather aggressive if not used to that sort of thing, but well worth it.
Because we were able to hike the mountain fast enough and efficiently, our guides let us go to see the golden monkeys that day as we had a permit to see them the following day. My wife loved the golden monkeys the most out of all the primates. Being in there bamboo forest and watching them play was an incredible end to the day. Highly recommend this national park, and would probably have stayed more around this area knowing what we know now.
The smallest NP of Uganda, but great experience!
We stayed 2 days in nearby town Kisoro, before camping 3 days right outside the entrance to Mgahinga NP. Mgahinga is very small, but it stole my heart. We went tracking for Gorilla's, and without much fuss found a family of 3 juvenile males, 1 female with a 3 weeks old baby gorilla. Meeting these gentle giants was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Though tracking was not cheap, I'd certainly recommend it in a small NP as Mgahinga. It has the advantage of less tourists, and a good chance of finding the gorilla's. The rangers were very nice, correct, informative.
In Mgahinga we also climbed the Sabinyo Vulcano (3647m) which has it's summit in three countries: Uganda, Rwanda and DRCongo. It was a steep climb (aprox. 5h) through eery alieneske vegetation, climbing ladders for the steepest parts and enjoying really breathtaking views. The descent was rather quick and enjoyable (aprox. 3h).
