This volcano, together with Mount Muhavura and Mount Sabinyo, are the three northernmost peaks of the Virunga chain. The entire area is home to rare mountain gorillas.

Volcano walk it said in the itinerary - so we left our lodge to get started, briefing began and we learned we were going on a HIKE !!! well, the furthest myself and my husband walk is to the pub and back...... anyhow, we enlisted porters ( who were absolutely a godsend at $15 each) to carry our rucksacks and set off up the volcano, so far so good, minimal elevation and then a couple of hours in, passing much beautiful scenery and wildlife including chameleons and gigantic worms the legs started feeling the climb, luckily our guide was fabulous as he let us go at our own pace and eventually, 4 hours later we got to the top to see the crater lake - the pain was so worth it, the clouds, rainforest and views of the other volcano peaks was spectacular.....and then the long walk back down - totally recommend

When my plans changed while in Tanzania, I decided to go to Uganda. With little notice, Stephen was able to customize a safari which included chimp trekking in Kibale, gorilla trekking in Bwindi and wildlife safari in QENP. Absolutely amazing! The accommodations although classified as moderate were more than satisfactory, as was the food. I can’t say enough about Peter, my driver/guide. As well as sharing his vast knowledge of Uganda‘a wildlife, it’s geography and culture, he was attentive and kept me safe. Hopefully one day I can do another safari in Uganda, arranged by APS, with Peter as my driver/guide.

The gorilla trek (and TRACK also- since we were actually being guided by the scouts who were tracking the family in real time!) was a totally awesome experience which is unique to this part of the world! The trek involves steep ascents/descents and demands good physical fitness. The one hour stay with the gorilla family is memorable and is a lifetime experience. Some tips:- 1. Wear good trekking shoes which are ankle high. If not available, ask your lodge in advance to arrange for gumboots from the UWA rangers at $10 per pair. Absolutely necessary, do not try to trek in sneakers/normal shoes. 2. Carry 2 litres water per person. If the sun is shining, it can cause dehydration fast. 3. Hiring a porter is useful particularly if you are not at the top of your fitness or are middle aged. He carries the backpack too. Cost is $15 but most trekkers pay more because of the superb assistance. 4. A rain jacket is necessary, it can rain anytime. 5. Nkuringo sector is the toughest trek but the most rewarding. Buhoma and Rushaga are comparatively easier. 6. It may take as long as 6-7 hours before return, so carry energy bars as well as the packed lunch provided by the lodge.

Gorilla Highlands Tours is part of the Gorilla Highlands Initiative, started in 2011 by a Lake Bunyonyi-based social enterprise Edirisa. The name “Gorilla Highlands” comes from the unique selling point of the region shared by Rwanda, Uganda and DR Congo, however, we go far beyond primates. We wish to open this fascinating transboundary area to responsible tourists, domestic and international. We want respectful travel to benefit local communities as much as possible while conserving the natural and cultural environment.
