Uganda: Gorillas & Beyond 2024


11 days

Limited to 16 guests

Explore the “Pearl of Africa,” from the banks of the Nile to the deepest reaches of the rainforest, blazing a trail through the mists of Uganda’s waterfalls and evergreen rainforests, and tracking chimpanzee, tree-climbing lion and endangered mountain gorilla along the way.

A&K Advantages

  • Encounter mountain gorilla under the biodiverse canopy of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, ranging through mistcovered hillsides to observe these greatest of apes in their natural surroundings, sensing the deep connection between their species and our own
  • Cruise up the Nile River to the misty base of Murchison Falls, spotting wildlife such as water birds, including the rare shoebill stork, wallowing hippo, elephant that come down to the river bank to drink and the fearsome Nile crocodile basking in the sun
  • Trek the lush, tropical trails of Kibale National Park in search of chimpanzee, sociable primates that forage for food and utter vocalizations that reverberate through the forest
  • Set out on two full days of game drives in the wilds of Queen Elizabeth National Park, keeping watch for examples of tree-climbing lion as well as elephant, Cape buffalo and Ugandan kob — a type of antelope symbolic of Uganda
