About This Tour
Uganda is the most biodiverse primate destination on earth: 20 primate species in a country smaller than the UK, including the mountain gorilla, chimpanzee, red colobus, L'Hoest's monkey, and the elusive potto. This 10-day grand tour is designed for those who want the complete primate and wildlife experience, combining four of Uganda's finest parks in a logical, unhurried circuit. You'll begin in Kibale Forest — the world's best chimpanzee tracking destination — before moving through the tree-climbing lions of Queen Elizabeth National Park, the ancient mist-forest of Bwindi for mountain gorilla trekking, and finishing with a gentle finale at Lake Mburo. A guide-driver will be with you throughout, making this genuinely seamless.
