Itineraries

14 Day Gorilla Encounter and Uganda Lakes

Game parks, landscapes and culture. This safari gives a glimpse of East Africa’s enormously diverse scenery and some of its friendliest people. From the Great Rift Valley dotted with lakes, to the terraced hillsides of fertile Uganda, and a very special wildlife encounter - the opportunity to trek and view the magnificent gorillas in their fragile habitat is an unforgettable experience.

This is an "Overland Adventure". What is Overlanding?

4 Day Rwanda Gorilla Tracking Safari

Uganda and Rwanda are blessed with stunningly beautiful and varied landscapes, from the tropical splendour of the central Ugandan plateau to the volcanic Virunga mountains of Rwanda. Adding to this is a dramatic array of lakes and rivers together with one of the highest concentrations of rare primates in the world (gorillas, colobus monkeys and chimpanzees). Thus Uganda and Rwanda are the perfect foil to Kenya and Tanzania's big game attractions.

The gorillas inhabit the thick forests of the Virunga mountains which straddle the border between Uganda and Rwanda. Access to these mountains from Kigali is less than 2 hours drive. Gorilla tracking permits are in short supply and therfore booking well ahead is essential.

6 Day Gorilla and Chimpanzee Express - Lodge Safari

A six-day safari from Entebbe, visiting the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda. On this itinerary, time permits for either one or two treks, if trekking once the other day is used for a forest walk or cultural/village visit. A combination of good quality lodges and hotels or camps are used throughout, and transport is by customized 4x4 vehicle. All meals on safari are provided, with bed & breakfast only in Entebbe.
