Gorilla and Chimpanzee Safaris

There Are Only 720 Mountain Gorillas Left in the World.¹

The dense forests of the Virunga Mountains spanning Rwanda and Uganda protect the last Mountain Gorillas left on the planet. One wonders whether you are watching them or they are watching you. You are close enough to hear the gorillas vocalize, close enough to watch the mothers and their young, and close enough to note that the Silverback is in charge!

If your preference is chimpanzees, then Uganda and Tanzania offer you excellent rewards: close encounters with chimps and the opportunity to sit quietly and observe chimpanzee family life as it unfolds around you. Gombe Stream or Mahale in Tanzania and Kibale Forest or Chambura Gorge in Uganda offer excellent viewing.
