Gorilla Tracking: Mountain Gorilla Tracking is a captivating and unforgettable experience which more than repays the effort needed to reach Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda and Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda.

The overall population of the gorillas is estimated to be 880 and the majority are found in Uganda and Rwanda. This is perhaps one of the most breathtaking wild experiences on earth. You get close to these awesome giant primates. Tracking gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga is a magical experience.

Chimpanzee Tracking: We handle chimpanzee tracking in Kibale National Park, Ngamba Island, Budongo Forest, Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth National Park (Uganda) and Nyungwe Forest National Park (Rwanda).
