Welcome to the mystical highlands of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, where ancient volcanoes touch the clouds and the last remaining mountain gorillas roam in peaceful silence.
Situated at the meeting point of Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, this jewel of East Africa is one of the few places on Earth where you can walk in the shadows of giants both gorillas and mountains.

Here, every breath is crisp, every step is deep with meaning, and every moment reminds you that nature is not just seen it is felt.
