Masungi Geopark: A Conservation Gem Worth Defending
Lately, there’s been a lot of news about Masungi, and honestly, I refuse to believe the accusations being thrown at the organization. Seeing their efforts firsthand, it’s clear that their work is driven by genuine conservation and sustainability.
My visit to Masungi went exactly as expected, in the best way possible. Upon arrival, a staff member was ready to welcome us, verifying our reservation and providing instructions on how to reach the base camp.
Before starting the trail, we attended a very informative orientation covering the do’s and don’ts of the area. From there, we were guided by a forest ranger who not only ensured our safety but also shared valuable insights about the geopark and its ongoing conservation efforts.
Walking Through the Legacy Trail
As we trekked through the Legacy Trail, it was impossible to miss the dedication that went into restoring and protecting the area. Every step revealed how much work had been done to bring the landscape back to life.
Our forest ranger was incredibly accommodating, adjusting the pace to match the group’s needs—whether that meant slowing down for breaks or picking up the pace when we were ready to move.
A Rewarding Experience
One of the highlights? The Minalot Lunch, exclusively available on the Legacy Trail. The food was delicious and the perfect reward after the hike.
Overall, the trail was an enjoyable and beginner-friendly experience—perfect for those looking for a quick escape from the city without committing to an extreme adventure.
