This 4-day gorilla & chimpanzee primate safari holiday takes you to the major trekking spot for the gorillas which is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, as well as the major tracking spot for the chimpanzees which is Kibale Forest National Park. It is basically looking at primates in Uganda. These 2 places are well known for their specialties and attractions.

If your dream is mountain gorilla trekking, Uganda is the place to go. Rwanda is the only other country in which these gentle giants can be encountered on a trek, and Ugandan permits are a fraction of the price charged over the border. Apart from gorilla trekking, there are lots of other things to do in Uganda. The country is home to many primates and Kibale NP offers amazing chimpanzee trekking and habituation experiences. Kidepo Valley, Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls National Parks are great for game drives in a savannah environment with plenty of lion, buffalo and elephant, as well as a range of antelope species. The country is particularly scenic and has a lot to offer to people with a keen interest in natural history and those who enjoy active holidays.
