TREKKING & WALKING

Uganda, with its three immense mountain ranges, vast valleys and endless slopes and foothills, makes it one of the world’s most exciting, new destinations for trekking and walking. No matter what your level or experience there a walk or trek for you is, providing an opportunity to behold some of Uganda’s most beautiful mountain landscapes that are just waiting to be explored. Over the past ten years we’ve pioneered and developed spectacular mountain routes, gorilla tours while implementing the high standards of service, comfort, safety and trip planning that Mystery Gorilla Safaris is known for.

We have a range of mid-to-high altitude mountain walks with cozy guesthouses, traditional farmhouses and hotels waiting for you at the end of each day, or multi-day camping treks and expeditions that will test your legs to the full – it all depends on your time, interest, and stamina.

During our treks you’ll hike winding paths along valley slopes, cross jungle rivers and bathe in spectacular waterfalls and private hot-springs, climb thousands of meters up through cloud forest to remote plateaus, home to teeming wildlife and biodiversity to emerge onto a magical, high-altitude landscape almost entirely unique to Uganda: Muhabura. An otherworldly, mystical highland ecosystem of volcanoes, clouds, lakes and incredible plants, the giant senecio and Lobelia species the highest reaches of the Afro-Alpine forests in Uganda.

English-speaking, local mountain and gorilla guides accompany our trips which include the chance to spend time with local communities and get an insight into traditional mountain life in the Ugandan high ranges
