About this experience
This Mid-Range 5-Day Gorilla-Chimpanzee Trekking Safari combines the Best Primate Treks in East Africa. In Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Gorilla Trekking was picked by CNN in 2019 as the most beautiful place in the World.
Add to that. Chimpanzee Trekking in the best primate park in East Africa, Kibale Forest, with 13 species of Primates.
The Safari begins in Entebbe or Kampala and ends there. However, you can choose to complete the Safari in Kigali, Rwanda, and save yourself from a long road trip back to Entebbe. Drive Time from Southern Bwindi Forest to Kigali is four hours.
Drive time to Entebbe from the same location is 9 to 10 hours. You can break that long drive time by adding a day in Lake Mburo National Park, halfway to Entebbe or Kampala.
Instead of Gorilla Trekking, you can choose the Gorilla Habituation Experience, four hours with a Gorilla Family on an all-day Trek in the Rushaga area of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
