Gorilla tracking tours from Mutukula border Masaka – Uganda and Rwanda Gorilla tours.

Tours to see gorillas beginning at the Mutukula border A tiny town in northern Tanzania, on the border with Uganda, Masaka-Mutukula is often written as Mtukula. It is located in Missenyi District, Kagera Region. Mutukula was located one kilometer south on the east side of the Masaka-Bukoba Road, while the border village was once called Kyebisagazi.

For guests transiting via Mutukula border who want to hike mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Monumental Expeditions and Safaris may arrange for a pickup.

Park for the Mgahinga Gorillas

You should consider visiting Mgahinga Gorilla National Park on your next visit to Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. It was formed in 1991 and is one of the most unique national parks in the country. At little over 33.7 square kilometers, the National Park is the smallest wildlife preserve in all of Uganda.

Exploring the wonders of goingrilla hiking

The Mountain Gorilla Tracking Experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for guests of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Roughly three quarters of the world’s tourists come to this rainforest just to go on mountain gorilla tracking expeditions.

You may visit Mgahinga National Park in Uganda to follow the endangered Mountain Gorillas, which is the second gorilla destination in the country after Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Those interested in gorilla tracking may visit this national park to see the Nyakagezi habituated gorilla family, which is the only one that is prepared to welcome humans.

Adventures in Nature and Climbing Volcanoes

You may go on guided nature walks and hiking expeditions in the dense forest at Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The Sabyinyo gorge is a great place to go birding, and if you’re lucky, you could even see a Rwenzori Turaco.

The walks in this national park typically last about four hours and pass through Rugezi, a great place for birdwatching. You may also explore the various vegetation zones along the Congo borders on these walks, and you’ll get a good look at a few calderas. You may also see some amazing animals, such the uncommon golden monkeys in the bamboo forest.

Meeting of cultures

It would be a shame to leave the National Park without seeing the Batwa people (pygmies) or another ethnic community after seeing the mountain gorillas.

Experience the rich culture of the Batwa people as you embark on a cultural exploration with them. Learn about their ancient lifestyle as you enter a breathtaking cave. You will never want to leave, instead opting to return to this incredible destination.

Inaccessible national park of Bwindi

Towards the southern tip of Uganda, on the outskirts of the Rift Valley, is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. One of the most ancient and ecologically varied rainforests in Uganda, covering its mist-covered slopes, has been there for over 25,000 years and is home to around 400 plant species.

Notably, this “impenetrable forest” also serves as a sanctuary for around 400 mountain gorillas, which is equivalent to over half of the global population. Among them, there are many habituated groups that may be monitored.

The Munyaga Waterfall Walk

The Buhoma sector, which is part of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and is ideal for hiking mountain gorillas, is home to the Munyaga waterfalls. After inspiring their imaginations with the rare mountain gorillas, enthusiastic hikers may take a stroll or climb to these stunning waterfalls.

The trails leading to Munyaga waterfalls wind through verdant jungle and partly bush track, crossing rivers on log bridges. Those who like hiking or just being outside on safari in Uganda will find that the 9-kilometer trek in Bwindi National Park is well worth the effort.

The walks begin in the Buhoma region along the River Ivi Nkuringo route and are accompanied by trained park rangers. You will be astounded by the breathtaking scenery as these three-tiered waterfalls plunge 33 meters below. Incredible views of diverse monkeys, birds, and distinctive vegetation are further prizes for hikers who make it to Munyaga waterfalls.

Visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park at the right time

January–February, June–July–August–September–December are the best months to go gorilla trekking. There are periods when it doesn’t rain at all or very little in certain places. There is a huge demand for gorilla permits in the months of May and June, yet one visitor nonetheless choose those months for gorilla trekking.
