Tailormade safaris in Uganda and Rwanda

Trek to the majestic mountain gorillas, hike to see chimpanzees in Kibale Forest and Kyambura Gorge, and search for the famous tree-climbing lions of Ishasha, along with many other wonderful wildlife experiences.

Your journey through lush forest highlands and stunning savannah landscapes of the beautiful Great Western Rift Valley will give you a unique insight into the endangered great apes, their habitats and the communities living nearby.
