Get to know Gishwati-Mukura National Park
Gishwati-Mukura contains two separate forest blocks.
They lie along the Congo–Nile watershed in the Albertine Rift.
Give the landscape time
Build your visit around a permitted activity rather than a rushed crossing. Ask which visitor gate, guide and vehicle arrangements apply, and whether early departures or overnight stays suit the agreed route. Wildlife sightings depend on conditions; they are never promised.
Before you visit
Confirm conservation fees, activity permits and any restrictions separately. Keep wildlife at a respectful distance and follow the instructions of the responsible ranger or guide.
Confirm current access, guide requirements, permits and visitor eligibility before travel.
