Gorilla & chimpanzee trekking

Uganda’s dense, emerald forests make it one of the top primate safari destinations in Africa, offering unforgettable encounters with our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

The crown jewel is gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where visitors hike into the thick rainforest to observe endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Standing just feet away from a gorilla family as they forage, play, or rest is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that leaves a lasting impact.

In addition, Uganda is world-famous for chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park, home to over 1,500 chimpanzees and 13 primate species in total. Treks through Kibale’s tropical forest offer the chance to see these highly intelligent and social primates up close—watching them communicate, groom, and swing through the canopy.

Whether you’re tracking gorillas in Bwindi or chimps in Kibale, Uganda’s primate safaris deliver raw, emotional, and deeply immersive wildlife experiences that are unmatched anywhere else on Earth.
