This holiday season we are reaching out to request your support for vital community and conservation projects in Uganda and Rwanda.
Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust aims to create long-term, self-sustaining projects that enrich the livelihoods of local communities, promote the conservation of the great apes, restore natural habitats and work with communities and institutions to reduce human-wildlife conflict.
We appreciate your generous support!

Give $500 to support a trainee wildlife guide at Kibale Lodge with binoculars and guidebooks.
For $2,500 you can sponsor three young trainees for a three-month hospitality program at Bwindi Bar.
Contribute $5,000 the new Virunga Lodge Community Centre and be recognised as a benefactor.
$10,000 will support the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Team during their annual carnivore census for three months in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
A donation of $18,000 per year will support the Gahinga Batwa children’s school fees, including a hot meal, adult schooling, a food donation and weekly visits by doctors and health workers.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Tracking chimpanzees in their natural habitat, as they swing from the branches in the canopy high above the forest floor is nothing short of exhilarating. The chimps effortlessly cross and scamper through the trees above the gorge, and visitors on the other hand must cross the river using natural bridges in order to keep up with the chimps. So although the walk usually lasts only 2–3 hours, descending the steep gorge and crossing the log bridges over the river requires some agility and fitness.
Chimpanzee tracking is also available in nearby Kalinzu, a forest reserve 30 minutes drive from Kyambura Gorge Lodge where there is a community of about 40 habituated chimpanzees.
