Uganda Chimps & Gorilla Trekking

Stumbling through thick, dripping rainforest, you get the order to crouch and freeze; only metres ahead, calmly observing you through a stand of bamboo, is the oddly familiar face of a 200kg mountain gorilla.

Who is watching who? Find out for yourself in western Uganda's premier gorilla reserve: the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park where the chances of encountering the great apes on a gorilla trekking adventure are very high indeed.

Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives and Uganda presents excellent - and rare - opportunities for trekking to see these fascinating primates in a pristine environment.

Travel to the tangled forests of the Kibale Forest National Park or Kgambura Gorge in the Queen Elizabeth National Park for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to encounter foraging families of chimps.

Kibale also offers you the chance to accompany primate researchers on field trips - you can't get much closer than that.

this is amazing! Gorillas are my favorite animals and I would love to do this. How much does it cost? Is there any place in Africa where you can play with or hold baby gorillas?
