Gorilla & Chimp Safari Uganda

	The funds from the gorilla tracking permits go directly towards aiding the preservation of these primates.

Introduction

Uganda is without doubt one of Africa’s most beautiful and friendliest nations. It is also home to a high concentration of rainforest dwelling primates. Bwindi National Park is home to approximately half of the world’s 660 or so surviving mountain gorillas and is one of the few places in Africa where you can track these rare and magnificent creatures. Our main objective on this short but action packed trip is to view a gorilla family in their natural rainforest habitat. We’ll also search for chimps in the dramatic Chambura Gorge and watch big game and birds on the savannah plains below the lofty ‘Mountains of the Moon’ in Queen Elizabeth National Park. There’s also an opportunity to raft some of Africa’s best rapids on the White Nile.

This wonderful journey for wildlife enthusiasts is based on a variety of comfortable accommodation. We stay in a mid-range hotel in Kampala and the superb Mweya Lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park and we stay in a permanent tented camp at Bwindi N. P. Transport is by one or two small 4WD safari vehicles, keeping our group size small and flexible.
