WE OFFER AFRICA'S CLASSIC PRIMATE ENCOUNTERS
We offer inspiring experiences on primates in Uganda and Rwanda. Tracking Mountain Gorillas is still high on the bucket list of the lifetime activities of many travellers . Looking into the eyes of the Mountain Gorillas is refreshing and is not probably an activity that you will do many times. Chimpanzee tracking is very enriching as you follow them in the forests where they roam looking for fruits especially the fig trees.

BIRDING IN UGANDA
Most of our tours primarily natural history with focus on birds. We encounter lots of interesting mammals, plants and trees, people, reptiles, amphibians, and interesting things along the way. Our highly trained guides will help you see, identify, and understand the different aspects of these attractions.
Gorilla tracking, Golden Monkey tracking, and Chimpanzee Tracking, are usually an optional excursion and those not wishing to do them, can spend time interacting with the communities in the community walks, or looking the excellent birds around.
