The Primates of Uganda
The Primates of Uganda
Called the ‘Pearl of Africa’, Uganda is one of the most beautiful countries on the continent and home to half the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. The tour includes a visit to a distinguished chimpanzee sanctuary and a stay in a mountainside, luxury tented camp in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
Highlights: Ngamba Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust Mountainside luxury camp and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: two full days tracking Mountain Gorilla. Stay in a remote and exclusive part of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Detailed itinerary:
Day 1 - Arrive Entebbe
Arrive at Entebbe airport, where you will be met and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel located on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Day 2 – Entebbe (B)
Visit the Ngamba Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust. One of the leaders in chimpanzee focused environmental conservation, the Trust cares for rescued chimps. Here you will experience a rare opportunity to view chimpanzees while helping to conserve their precious habitat and contribute to the conservation of their species. You will also receive an educational orientation by a chimpanzee caregiver. Return to your hotel.
Day 3 - Entebbe – Bwindi (B, L, D)
Transfer to the nearby airstrip for your flight southwest to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. On arrival you will be transferred to your luxury camp, located in rainforest on a mountainside in the park - inquisitive primates sometimes pay the lodge a rare visit on occasions.
Days 4 - 5 - Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (B, L, D)
Bwindi is home to many primates including colobus monkeys and chimpanzees, but is most notable for its population of the critically-endangered mountain gorilla. Spend two days trekking through the forest to locate one of the four habituated gorilla families.

Spend time in observation as they interact with each other, play and search for food.
