With the touching humanity of Rwanda’s mountain gorillas, it’s no wonder many of our past clients claim this journey is one of their most moving experiences ever! Forge your way through rainforest for a rewarding discovery of these highly endangered apes; they don’t survive in captivity (and less than 700 remain) so you can only see them here. Journey overland through the arresting beauty of Uganda: on game drives, you’ll see elephants, lions, chimps and the land of 30,000 hippos!

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

  • Track mountain gorillas in Rwanda's Parc des Volcans—one of nature’s most powerful experiences!
  • Look up in amazement at fig trees heavy with chimps
  • Marvel at the contrast between human-like primates and big game found in Queen Elizabeth National Park
