Uganda & Tanzania: A Soul-Stirring 8-Day Small Group Primate Safari

About this Safari

Embark on an unforgettable journey that brings together two of Africa’s most profound wildlife encounters. In the company of a small group of like-minded travellers, you’ll track chimpanzees on Rubondo Island in Tanzania, before venturing into Uganda’s mystical Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to the legendary mountain gorillas.

This is a rare and soul-stirring safari, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that connects you deeply with nature, conservation, and the wild heart of East Africa. Shared with a maximum of just 9 other travellers.

  • Primate trekking permits included
  • Rubondo Island’s unique ecosystem
  • Uganda’s mountain gorilla population
