Six-day Mountain Gorilla Safari in Rwanda and Uganda

Our six-day gorilla safari to Virunga in Rwanda, and Mount Gahinga in Uganda, will give you a unique insight into the world of the endangered mountain gorillas, their habitats, and the communities that live nearby.

The safari continues over the border in Rwanda at the magnificent Virunga Lodge, perched high on a ridge with some of the finest views in Africa!

Safari Activities

Chimpanzee Tracking

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.
