Introduction

1 May 2023 - 8 May 2023

Gorilla trekking to photograph mountain gorillas is certainly a “huge tick” for most wildlife photography enthusiasts. On this photo safari, you will do two gorilla treks as well as spend a day in the company of a troop of chimpanzees guided by one of the top primate photography specialists in the world – Dan Peel

Add to this the chance to see the amazing Shoebill stork and you have the best Uganda photo safari package on offer! Nelis is an award-winning wildlife photographer and has won several prestigious awards including Nature’s Best.

This Uganda Chimpanzee & Gorilla Trekking photo safari is limited to a maximum of six photographers plus Nelis. These dates are designed to dovetail with our Masai Mara Migration Photo Safari for 2024.
