There are few wildlife viewing experiences on Earth that can live up to spending time with a family of mountain gorillas in Uganda’s forest-cloaked Virunga Mountains. This incredible 14-day adventure-style group tour takes you into the heart of the jungle, to within touching distance of these most human-like of apes. You’ll also go on an unforgettable game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, seeing some of Africa’s most charismatic species from leopards to rhinos, and get the chance to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat in Queen Elizabeth National Park’s lush ‘Valley of the Apes’. Travel in a custom-built safari vehicle and spend every night under the stars in a range of scenic camps, where you’ll muck in together as a team. It’s the adventure of a lifetime.
