Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is a small park with many activities and one of them is Golden Monkey tracking – considering the setting, the other activities such as Gorilla Tracking, one day Volcano Climbing, the Batwa Forest Trail with the original people of the forest – the Batwa Pygmies, the cave exploration, the nature trails. Birding, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is the best place to track beautiful Golden Monkeys in the Bamboo Forests of Mgahinga Gorilla Park.

Golden Monkey Tracking like Gorilla Tracking and Chimpanzee Tracking in Uganda starts at 8 am with an orientation and then setting off in a small group with guides up into the Bamboo Forests in search of the Golden Monkeys and of course there are the other mammals you will see along with birds and the scenic setting of the park.

Golden Monkey are simply attractive looking monkeys with color, their playful ways, and since these have been habituated – they are used to Humans and do not scamper off as you arrive – a bit of advice is in picture taking – they move rather quickly and you will need to set your camera on fast shutter speed and also due to the bamboo forest on low light.

Viewing the Golden Monkeys is a rewarding experience and most find very enjoyable and Mgahinga National Gorilla Park is the best place to track them – most economical too…from Kampala…jon
