Tour Overview

Three Gorilla Treks. Three Countries. One Extraordinary Journey.

This 13-day safari is the ultimate gorilla trekking experience — three mountain gorilla treks across Rwanda, Uganda, and DR Congo, combined with chimpanzees in Kibale, tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth NP, an overnight on Nyiragongo's crater rim, and a boat safari on Lake Kivu.

Designed for the most adventurous travellers who want to experience Africa's greatest primate encounters in all three of the countries where mountain gorillas are found — Rwanda's Volcanoes NP, Uganda's Bwindi, and DR Congo's Virunga NP.
