Few wildlife experiences can compare to encountering our primate cousins in the wild. Uganda is home to one of the last remaining populations of mountain gorillas, and meeting these gentle apes up close is an unforgettable and genuinely moving experience. Uganda is also an excellent destination to encounter troops of chimpanzees, our closest living relatives.
In addition to visiting gorillas and chimps, we’ll explore Murchison Falls National Park for other wildlife, such as giraffes, elephants, lions, leopards, crocodiles, and hippos. We’ll also visit the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to see Uganda’s only wild rhinos and cruise the mighty Nile River for a unique photo perspective. Uganda also has wonderfully colorful birdlife, including the odd-looking Shoebill.
