Uganda is in austere disparity to many other African holiday destinations, as it is well covered in dense forests and waterways.  There are few wildlife experiences that can compare to tracking the closest of primates to Humans, the Mountain Gorillas. The Ugandan forests of Bwindi are home to the rarest and most royal of all the apes, the mountain gorillas.  Join us on this tour and get to feel the gap between ape and human vanish once you look into the eyes of this intelligent, gentle and vulnerable primates.
