Golden Monkey trekking in Uganda is done in Mgahinga Gorilla national park. The park is located in the south west of Uganda.
Mgahinga is part of the virunga conservation area and this park is blessed with primates. The most famous are Golden Monkeys and Mountain Gorillas. Here you can do Golden monkey trekking and also Gorilla trekking.
You can take advantage of this unique opportunity and see the primates on the same safari itinerary.
NOTE:The price of Golden monkey trekking is $50 and Gorilla trekking is $600
On the trekking day, you arrive at the park offices at 7:30am and register. This process ensures that you are signed to a trekking group and then you are escorted by a park ranger into the forest for start on the trek for Golden Monkeys. The trail starts at exactly 8:00am.
Trekking for these primates is not hard as compared to their cousins the Gorillas. This is because these monkeys are not found high in the mountains but rather in the bamboo trees which are located on the lower slopes of the mountains.
On finding the monkeys, you will spend 1hr and you can take photos. Enjoy your time with the golden monkeys and then return back to the Lodge for another activity the following day most preferably Gorilla trekking, Nature walks, Batwa experience etc.
Note: You can take photos with flash(only allowed for golden monkeys but not Gorillas and Chimpanzees)
