Primates of Uganda

Gorillas and chimpanzees - the full primate circuit.

Duration 7-8 daysIdeal time Jun-Sep & Dec-FebDifficulty ModerateTravel Private
The experience

Uganda is the only country where you can track mountain gorillas and wild chimpanzees on the same trip - with tree-climbing lions and the Kazinga Channel in between.

This is the complete primate journey: chimps in the Kibale forest, big game in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the flagship gorilla trek in Bwindi, woven into one well-paced week.

Private throughout, with the timing and lodge style tuned to you.
