The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) has officially handed over a prime construction site inside Mgahinga Gorilla National Park to Powerland International LTD.
The project will create Uganda’s first multi-day hiking trail that connects all three iconic Virunga volcanoes in one unforgettable journey.
The new Mgahinga Gorilla National Park new hiking trail will link:
- Muhabura (4,127 m)
- Gahinga (3,474 m)
- Sabinyo (3,669 m)
Strategic overnight cabins along the route will allow trekkers to complete sequential ascents across the entire Virunga range without returning to base camp each day, a game-changer for visitors who previously had to hike each peak separately.
Why This Matters for Uganda Tourism
Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is a UNESCO-recognised biodiversity hotspot and vital mountain gorilla habitat.
Tourism here already generates over $10 million annually for conservation. The new trail is expected to boost visitor numbers dramatically by making the full Virunga experience more accessible and comfortable.
Travel bloggers and gorilla enthusiasts have flooded social media with excitement, calling the development “the future of Virunga trekking in Uganda.”
While most replies celebrate the tourism boost, some voices rightly highlight the need for careful construction to avoid habitat fragmentation.
The 15 to 20 resident gorilla families in Mgahinga deserve protection, exactly why choosing a responsible operator is essential.
Park Tours from Kampala or Entebbe
Most visitors fly into Entebbe International Airport or start from Kampala. Reliable park tours from Kampala or Entebbe typically include:
– Comfortable 4×4 transfers (6–7 hours to Mgahinga)
– Professional guides and porters
– Gorilla trekking permits
– Accommodation options from budget to luxury
