Mount Gahinga Rest Camp is located on the border of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park next to the park headquarters, on the border of the 3 countries, Uganda, Congo and Rwanda. This is the best place for people on the move especially those who are coming from gorilla tracking and need a place to rest from. The general services provided include swimming in the fresh waters of Lake Mutanda.
Mount Gahinga Rest Camp is composed of nine grass thatched banda and 3 tents with private facilities, half of these cottages have their en-suite and private balconies which are facing towards Lake Mutanda. This cottage was built using the locally available material collected by the local people so are the staff members who are trained on jobs and through this they earn some income to cater for their families thus an excellent employment opportunity to so many people. The electricity is supplied from the solar panels instead of the hydro electricity because it is not reliable.
While staying at the camp, one gets a chance to trek golden monkeys and mountain gorillas in the same place. Trekking the impressive Afromontane forest in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is where the happiness begins. At the first moment, a visitor sees the unique-impressing mountain gorilla in a very challenging to explain experience, unless you took a gorilla safari.
