About This Tour
For travellers with limited time who refuse to compromise on quality, this 5-day snap safari delivers Uganda's two most extraordinary wildlife encounters back to back. Day two puts you in Kibale Forest with the Kanyantale chimpanzee community — over 1,500 chimps in one park, the world's best chimp tracking. Day four puts you in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with a mountain gorilla family — half the world's remaining population in one ancient mist forest. Between them, a scenic overland drive through Queen Elizabeth National Park and the dramatic Rift Valley escarpment. This is a fast-paced trip built for travellers who know exactly what they want and want to do it efficiently without unnecessary padding.
