Observe the majestic mountain gorilla
Bwindi is home to the mighty mountain
gorilla and no one knows this nearly
impenetrable forest better than our guides.
Altitudes range from 1,000 to 2,600m in this
biologically diverse park, but the gorilla is
the breathtaking star attraction. Tracking
these inspiring primates in their natural
environment is unforgettable.
Check out some chimps
Nyungwe Forest National Park presents the
very best of African wildlife. The unspoiled
rainforest is famed for its incredible
biodiversity and rare species such as the
Ruwenzori colobus and L’Hoest’s monkey.
Track chimpanzee through lush forested
terrain, and, with luck, you will make contact.
