In the green heart of Uganda, between volcanic mountains, impenetrable forests and protected wetlands: a journey in search of the continent's rarest primates and species.
This itinerary will take us to discover three of the most extraordinary natural areas in Africa. Starting from the Kibale National Park, considered the world capital of primates, where over 1,500 chimpanzees live in the wild.
We will continue towards the mythical Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO heritage site and refuge for almost half of the world's population mountain gorilla. Here two days of trekking await us, dedicated to observing and photographing these giants, among the branches shrouded in fog and the deep silence of the forest.
Finally we will explore the suggestive Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, where among the bamboo forests we will search for the expressive golden monkey, and the marshes of Mabamba, one of the best habitats to spot the legendary shoe-shaped beak, among reeds, fog and absolute silence.
An itinerary built to offer primate sightings, great photographic encounters and total immersion in Uganda's biodiversity.
