Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking
Dates: August 9-15
Where: Uganda
Duration: 6 nights
This trip is full for 2025. Please reserve your spots for 2026 ASAP.
​
​​If seeing mountain gorillas is on your bucket list, this is the trip for you. Many itineraries have guests flying from Entebbe, spending two days trekking with the gorillas, and then flying back home. We think it would be a shame to go all that way and not see the other sites of Uganda. Our hosts on this trip are experienced Ugandan guides. Born and raised in the country. They will show us the best of their country. Gorilla permits are expensive at $800 per person per day. We'll keep the cost down by staying at nice mid-range lodges and and gorilla trekking once versus multiple days.
Some highlights of this safari:
​
Chimpanzee trekking in Kabale - the national forest where Chimp Empire was filmed. Other primates we may see include Red Colobus, Black and white Colobus, Grey-cheeked Mangabey, Olive Baboon, Red-tailed Monkey, and L’Hoest’s Monkeys.
Game drives to see tree climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth Park.
