About this trip

Start your adventure in Kibale tropical forest, where walks into the lush forest bring you into contact with a variety of birds and primates including our delightful cousins the chimpanzees. In addition, you visit the local community to discover more about how people live in harmony with the forests. Continue to Queen Elizabeth National Park, marvel at the diversity of wildlife, including elephants, lions, and buffalo. A boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel presents a unique opportunity to observe hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of many other animals and bird species that call this place home. Your safari ends on a high with a visit to the thick rain forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, offering a wide selection of tree species - a habitat for man's closest rare primates, the mountain gorillas. Your chance of coming into contact with a group is approximately 99 percent.. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest boasts both Mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzees - the only forest in Africa which can make this claim in fact. It also hosts five other species of primate, 113 species of mammal, over 200 butterflies and 360 birds.
