This gorilla & chimpanzee tracking trip is an unforgettable experience of meeting two of our closest animal cousins in the natural habitat.
Getting to see gorillas and chimps in the wild is very moving as you get to personally notice and witness all the little quirks and mannerisms of each individual.
In Bwindi, you will have your encounter with the mountain gorillas where you get to look into the red eyes of a silverback. And in Kalinzu, you will meet the chimps and closely watch them freely go about their day.
Besides the primates, you will experience Ugandan culture and directly learn about it in the various places you will pass.
This safari is ideal for someone whose schedule is tight but they have always wanted to personally experience the presence of gorillas and chimpanzees in the wild.
Take a look at the detailed itinerary to get a better idea of how a trip like this would flow for you. Keep in mind, our trips are customizable and our team will gladly personalize them to match your specific needs.

Book this 3-day trip with us and get the chance to enjoy guided gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Nation Park. The national park has been so named because of the dense undergrowth as well as vines and creepers that festoon the trees, making it difficult to travel through even as the mysterious, haunting atmosphere they create is awesome.
Drive to the national park on the first day of the trip. Check into your accommodation upon arriving there late in the afternoon after which you are free for the rest of the day. Travel through the forest on the second day of the trip in search of gorillas. Upon spotting the band of gorillas that has been assigned to you, you can spend around an hour watching them before hiking back to your accommodation.
We will drive you back to Kampala after the trip is over. In case you want an accommodation upgrade, you can always write to us by clicking on the blue 'Make An Enquiry' button on the top right of the tour page. For more details, please go through the itinerary below.

We had a wonderful experience! The itinerary was really good and our CEOs Luke and Ronald were the best.
There?s two things I didn?t like though.
1. Please just include all the meals during the tour and make the tour more expensive. Not including meals in places like Bwindi where there is no other restaurant option and you?re forced to eat at the lodge you?re staying at anyway is just pointless and annoying as you have to calculate the money you have to withdraw from ATMs and ends up costing you more because of high ATM fees! Either include all meals or do a breakfast/dinner included lunch optional system for people who don?t want to eat lunch
2. Kigali View Hotel. Can?t believe G Adventures picks this hotel as end point and recommends it to its guests! It was really bad. The food was horrible, the rooms smelled, the bathroom smelled. Luckily it was only one night so it was bearable but for people who wanna end on a high or who decided to stay longer that Hotel is a full disappointment! And if you decided to keep it as your end point at least clearly label it as VERY BUDGET and recommendations for nicer hotels in the area.

Uganda is a land of contrasts. In half a day you can drive from mist-shrouded volcanic mountains to hot hazy savannah, dappled with wildlife. Serene undulating hills of tea plantations, lush but ordered, give way to tangled jungle and rainforest with the musical accompaniment of chaotic, cacophonous birdlife.
First, we head to Kibale National Park and surely, and you will be left amazed by the presence of primates here. Step into this pristine tropical rainforest and encounter human's closest relation with the wild - the Chimpanzees.
We'll also take you to Queen Elizabeth National Park, the home of the famous tree-climbing lions in Uganda. On the game drives, you will be able to see animals such as lions, elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, warthogs and many different bird species. During the boat ride on Kazinga channel, look for hippos, crocodiles, aquatic bird species, and other animals at the shores quenching their thirst and grazing.
Let's go to Bwindi Forest, a dense rainforest, and the home of the majestic mountain gorillas. Here, embark on a gorilla trekking experience and the encounter is truly heartwarming. We will round it up in Lake Mburo NP, where a walking safari will awaken all your senses and bring you close to nature.
