We visited Mgahinga to see the Golden Monkeys—a rare treat. We were a group of just 2 visitors, but the teams rolled out the red carpet anyway. After a celebratory dance to start, our porters, guards and guide led us to the where the trackers had found a golden monkey troop. We were treated to 20 minutes in the middle of golden monkey kindergarten playtime. The little ones were swinging, jumping, bouncing and play-fighting all around us—under the watchful eye of the alpha male. What a delight! All of the support staff were friendly, helpful, and especially knowledgeable about the area and its wild residents. Well worth the time!

What a beautiful experience. I went to trek the extinct volcano as I have already seen the gorillas in Bwindi. Mount Sabyinyo in the distance and the perfect jungle to traverse in between. The guides, rangers and porters, are the most patient considerate and kind people ever. Brilliant sense of humour and they truly kept my spirits up even when I was out of breath. that altitude takes it out of you. The entertainment by the dancers before the trek was wonderful! The vast amount of information the guide shares, the knowledge they all have pf the surroundings, the nature and that eye for details. they also learn fast what interests you and are happy to show and share.

This was a very mind blowing experience. I would recommend it to anyone around. You get to see a lot than you thought you would starting from nature to the community then to learning their history. I was part of the guiding team and surely it was also a nice memory for me to see all of us happy.
