Primate Safaris
Rwanda hosts 9 of the habituated gorilla families. The gorilla families live in bamboo forests on the sides of the Virunga Volcanoes in the Parc National des Volcans and are usually the easiest to track and watch. In Uganda, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest has 7 habituated gorilla families accessible in both the north and south of the forest but with very steep climbing on some treks, particularly in the south.
Tanzania's Mahale Mountains provide a breathtaking spot to not only track chimpanzees, but to experience the magic of the Lake Tanganyika waters - as clear as gin and full of wonderful cyclid fish. Chimps in Uganda's Kibale National Park and Chambura Gorge are especially rewarding.
Interested in wild or habituated chimps? Contact us now.
Madagascar offers an amazing amount of different species of lemurs including ring tailed lemur found in the south and southwest of the world's fourth biggest island. Black Lemur inhabit the northwest, red ruffed in Masoala Peninsula in the north east. Verreaux's Sifaka found in the south and west of the island while Indri inhabit the eastern rainforests.
