This popular 7-Day gorilla and chimpanzee safari in Uganda takes you to some of the finest great ape locations in Africa. Choose from three unique itineraries that combine Volcanoes Safaris great ape lodges in Uganda.
Trek gorillas at either Bwindi Lodge in the ‘Gorilla Highlands’ or Mount Gahinga Lodge, on the Ugandan side of the Virunga volcanoes.
See the chimpanzees at Kyambura Gorge Lodge, home to an isolated group of chimpanzees in a magical rainforested gorge or at Kibale Lodge – the Primate Capital of the World.
Your safari will give you a unique insight into the endangered great apes, their habitats and the communities living nearby. Combine wonderful wildlife sightings with opportunities to participate in conservation and community projects, run by Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust.
Enjoy a fireside chat the evening before your gorilla trek with staff from one of our conservation partners, Gorilla Doctors and Conservation Through Public Health, and learn about their conservation work in the park. Join a primatologist from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project when you trek in Kibale or Kyambura and learn about their long-term research program in Kibale.

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.
