ABOUT THE ITINERARY

This Ultimate Uganda itinerary will take you on an unforgettable journey through this spectacular country. You’ll discover the chimpanzee rich forests of Kibale and the forgotten wilderness of Kidepo, but nothing quite compares to the experience of tracking mountain gorillas through the impenetrable vegetation of Bwindi Forest, one of its last remaining refuges.

Gorilla trekking can make for tough walking, but the rewards of getting to within touching distance of these endangered creatures, who share 97.7% of our DNA, will last forever.
