Customised Safari Packages
One country or all five, combined into a single route built around your dates.
One hour with a mountain gorilla family
There are roughly a thousand mountain gorillas left on earth, and every one of them lives in the forests we guide in.
- Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga in Uganda
- Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda
- Virunga National Park in DR Congo
- Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest
We handle permits, park logistics, transport and briefings so that your only job on the day is the walk itself.
