Introduction

This unique safari links the finest gorilla and chimpanzee sites in Africa

Explore the landscapes and wildlife of the Albertine Rift, deep in the heart of Africa, on this iconic great ape safari.

Launched in 2024 to celebrate the opening of Kibale Lodge, this 10-day safari will take you to see chimpanzees at Kibale, the Lost Chimps of Kyambura Gorge and the wildlife and birds of Queen Elizabeth, ending with a trek to see the enchanting Nyakagezi gorilla family in Gahinga.

You will combine treks to see the endangered mountain gorillas and chimpanzees, with walking safaris in the savannah and Kyambura Gorge, a magical sunken rainforest home to a small, isolated group of chimpanzees. Join in with unique community and conservation activities around the lodges, run by Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust.

Spend three nights each at Kibale, Kyambura Gorge and Mount Gahinga as you journey through the changing landscapes of the Great Western Rift Valley, known as the Albertine Rift, and stay at some of the most exceptional great ape locations in Africa.
