Gorillas & Gameparks

This unforgettable trip brings together the highlights of Uganda and Rwanda in 2 weeks. We travel from the capital city, Kampala, to the Kibale Forest Primate Reserve where we will track wild chimpanzees. Safari remains the theme as we visit the Queen Elizabeth National Park and photograph lions, elephants & hippos (among others).
We stop to explore the Rwandan capital, Kigali, before travelling up into the volcanic highlands and equatorial rainforest that forms the border area between Uganda and Rwanda. The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to track the endangered mountain Gorillas that inhabitat this region.
The trip finishes at the Source of the River Nile, where we camp overlooking the river and enjoy a number of activities. Here also we will visit the Soft Power Community Project, your chance to give something back.
