The name of this tour is not a slogan but a statement of fact. There is nowhere else in the world you can get this variety of primates in one region and there are only a small handful of expert operators who can pull this off.
Moving on a loop from Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda), Virunga National Park (Democratic Republic of Congo), Kahuzi-Biega National Park (Democratic Republic of Congo) and Nyungwe Forest National Park (Rwanda) you will have close encounters with:
- Mountain Gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
- Golden Monkey in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
- Mountain Gorillas in Virunga National Park, DR Congo
- Eastern Lowland Gorillas in Kahuzi-Biega National Park, DR Congo
- Chimpanzeese & Colobus Monkeys in Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda.
- ....and likely to run in to several more species including Blue Monkeys, L'Hoest, Mangabey Monkeys and more.
You will also meet the Gorilla Doctors who will provide a behind the scenes presentation on Gorilla welfare, threats, treatment and behaviours that will add a lot of value to your tour.
To top it off we have a unique live Volcano Hike and overnight stay on the crater’s edge. Mt. Nyirangongo in Virunga National Park also has the world’s largest lava lake.
So if you want a unique best in the world safari that few have experienced then THE WORLD’S GREATEST PRIMATE SAFARI AND VOLCANO HIKE TOUR is for you.
