This unique, exploratory adventure is built around chimp tracking and two mountain gorilla treks and visits to several unique spots not found on a typical Uganda itinerary. Highlights include searching for wild chimps in the lesser-known sunken forest of Kyambura Gorge (instead of heavily trafficked Kibale); a first gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a walking safari across biologically diverse Bwindi; and lastly exploring Mgahinga National Park in the Virunga Mountains, where we will do a second gorilla trek in this less-visited corner of Uganda, then enjoy an additional day in search of Golden monkeys, an endemic species to the Virunga Mountains.
