Highlights of This Journey
Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Experience the ultimate wildlife encounter as you trek through misty mountain forests to come face-to-face with endangered mountain gorillas—a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that can take 2-6 hours of hiking through Uganda's most pristine wilderness.
Witness the Power of Murchison Falls
Stand in awe at the top of Uganda's most dramatic waterfall, where the mighty Nile River thunders through a narrow 7-meter gap, then experience the falls from below during a scenic boat cruise along the Victoria Nile.
Tree
Climbing Lions of Ishasha - Discover one of Africa's most unique wildlife phenomena in Queen Elizabeth National Park's Ishasha sector, where lions defy nature by climbing and lounging in fig trees—a rare behavior found in only a few places on Earth.
Chimpanzee Tracking in Kibale Forest
Trek through lush jungle trails to observe our closest relatives in their natural habitat, watching chimpanzees play, feed, and swing through the canopy in the "Primate Capital of the World."
Authentic Village Experience in Kiyebe
Immerse yourself in traditional Ugandan culture with an exclusive visit to the remote village of Kiyebe, where you'll plant trees, collect honey from beehives, share local beers, and celebrate with the community through singing and dancing.
Golden Monkey Encounters in Mgahinga
Track the rare and playful Golden Monkeys through the bamboo forests of the Virunga Mountains, followed by relaxation at the stunning Lake Bunyonyi, one of Africa's deepest and most beautiful lakes.
Wildlife
What You Might Encounter
Mountain Gorilla
Critically endangered great apes — tracking a family group through ancient forest is one of Africa's most profound wildlife encounters.
Forest Elephant
Smaller and darker than savannah elephants, these elusive forest giants move silently through Bwindi's dense undergrowth.
L'Hoest's Monkey
A striking primate with a white beard and dark coat, endemic to Central African montane forests.
African Green Broadbill
A brilliantly coloured bird found nowhere else on earth outside this corner of East Africa.
Tree-Climbing Lion
In Ishasha, southern Queen Elizabeth NP, prides of lions have developed the unique habit of lounging in fig trees — a behaviour rarely seen anywhere else in Africa.
Hippo
The Kazinga Channel hosts one of Uganda's largest hippo populations, best seen on a boat cruise at sunset.
African Buffalo
Massive herds roam Queen Elizabeth's open grasslands, forming the backbone of the lion's prey base.
Uganda Kob
The national antelope of Uganda, found in impressive numbers across the park's savannah flats.
Chimpanzee
Kyambura Gorge — the "Valley of Apes" — cuts through the park and shelters a habituated chimp community.
Red Colobus Monkey
Large troops of these russet-and-black monkeys crash through the canopy, often in the company of mangabeys and blue monkeys.
African Forest Elephant
Smaller than their savannah cousins, forest elephants use Kibale's trails as ancient pathways between feeding grounds.
Golden Monkey
Bamboo forest below the volcanoes shelters these vividly coloured monkeys, habituated for close-up encounters.
Golden Eagle
Raptors circle the volcano peaks — the Rwandan Virungas sit within a biodiversity hotspot for Afromontane birds.
Angola Colobus Monkey
Troops of up to 400 individuals — among the world's largest colobus groups — swing through Nyungwe's canopy.
