Uganda Primate Expedition
Chimpanzees, Mountain Gorillas & Ancient Forests
Journey into the heart of Uganda, where lush rainforests, volcanic landscapes, and remarkable biodiversity create one of Africa’s most rewarding wildlife experiences. Known as the “Pearl of Africa,” Uganda is home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, thriving chimpanzee populations, and some of the continent’s most pristine tropical forests.
Travel from the shores of Lake Victoria to Kibale National Park, renowned for its exceptional chimpanzee trekking, before continuing south to the legendary Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Along the way, discover scenic crater lakes, rolling tea plantations, vibrant local communities, and breathtaking mountain landscapes that showcase Uganda’s extraordinary natural beauty.
The unforgettable highlight of your journey is an intimate encounter with endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.
