12 day Uganda Ultimate Safari

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

A twelve day safari from Entebbe, visiting the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda (Bwindi Impenetrable Forest) or Rwanda PNV, plus Chimpanzee trekking in the forests of Kibale or Chamburu Gorge, visiting the orphaned chimps on Ngamba Island Chimpanzee sanctuary, game viewing in the Queen Elizabeth National Park, and visiting the famous Murchison Falls National Park on the Nile River. 

Important information regarding gorilla permits: Uganda - Permits to view gorillas in Uganda are in high demand, with currently two family groups with 12 people per day being allowed to view at Bwindi, with an additional four permits temporarily available at Bwindi to view a third family, and 6 at Mgahinga. In all cases the Gorilla Permit will be pre-booked and prepaid prior to final confirmation of the safari - safaris are thus dependent on availability of permits. This tour price excludes your permit for Gorilla Trekking. 

Highlights

Discover the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda (Bwindi Impenetrable Forest) or Rwanda, Chimpanzee trekking in the forests of Kibale and Chamburu Gorge, game viewing in the Queen Elizabeth Park
