Trek deep into Uganda’s mountainous jungles seeking elusive chimpanzees and mountain gorillas. You’ll be enamored by these complex, social beings as you witness their intriguing behaviors. Morning and afternoon hikes in Kibale National Park offer ample time to enjoy the charming chimpanzee families as they groom, forage, interact, and play. At Bwindi National Park, your three awe-inducing journeys into the mysterious Impenetrable Forest provide precious time with the critically endangered mountain gorillas as these gentle giants trudge among the trees to feed, socialize, and care for their young. You may come across up to 13 species of primates on this safari, and you will undoubtedly connect with our closest relatives in a most life-altering way.
