We are immensely proud to present this truly inspirational and immersive set, small group tour for Sept 2025. Our itinerary takes a maximum of 6 lucky participants in two 4WD vehicles on the journey of a lifetime - one which is filled with awe-inspiring wildlife encounters, stunning scenery and warm, hospitable people.
Apart from taking in an array of unforgettable wildlife sightings, the tour allows you to delve deeper into the relationship between the wildlife, the park authorities and the permanently resident communities. Spend time tracking endangered Mountain gorillas in Uganda and/or Rwanda, something with which few wildlife experiences anywhere in the world can compare.
Learn about Mountain gorilla and wildlife conservation through the eyes of the local rangers, the guides, wardens and various specialists during talks, presentations, and discussions with the Gorilla Doctors/Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project; the Lion Monitoring/Uganda Carnivore Predator Programme, and the Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH) organisation. Enjoy authentic cultural experiences with the Batwa in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, and at the Ndere Centre in Kampala.
Group Size: min. 4 - max. 6 participants.
Sept 2025 tour: Available: Dates 05 - 21 Sept 2025.
