“This is our first visit to Uganda and Rwanda, and our stay at the Virunga and Kyambura Lodge (May 2-9). We were enchanted by the natural landscape, wilderness and diverse wildlife encountered on our treks. We were equally enchanted to witness how wild animals can co-exist harmoniously and adapt so successfully to changing climate and […]
One of my enduring memories of gorilla tracking at Bwindi was when we approached a nursing mother gorilla with her infant. The infant was busily nursing with her mother. I started taking pictures. My heart was pounding with excitement – so much so that I thought my heart would burst thru my chest to be […]
“Day breaks over the Rift Valley and my early morning coffee has arrived, a wake-up call for my morning safari game drive in Queen Elizabeth. Game drive or lie-in? Game drive or lie-in? I ponder.

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.
