Planned Activity: Mgahinga Golden Monkey Trek – Following a detailed briefing from your park guide, set off at around 8:00AM for your golden monkey trek. The trail leads you through the enchanting rainforest of Mgahinga, with its towering trees and soft undergrowth, before opening into the lower bamboo zones where these playful primates are often found. The hike is moderate and rewarding, as you soon come face-to-face with the lively golden monkeys, their bright coats glinting in the filtered forest light. Spend 1–2 unforgettable hours observing them as they leap gracefully through the bamboo and interact within their troop. For your comfort and safety, sturdy hiking boots, long trousers, and long-sleeved clothing are essential. Be sure to carry insect repellent, drinking water, a face mask, and a small backpack—porters are available should you wish to have assistance.
After your trek, transfer to Lake Bunyonyi, check in, and enjoy the afternoon at leisure.
