Passion Primates Safaris in Uganda and Rwanda

The best passion primates’ safari in Uganda can be enjoyed in Kibale Forest National Park. The drive to Kibale forest is very enjoyable through the winding unpaved but graded roads showing traditional Uganda as we go through traditional many Villages where you see people at work tending their traditional crops like yams, tobacco, sorghum, beans, cassava, sweet potatoes and maize with later foreign green tea plantations as we get close to Fort Portal town.

After a morning breakfast on the following day, we drive to Kanyanchu for registration and a short briefing before the start of our day’s major activity. Chimpanzees are the closest to man of all the apes, and it is fun watching man in the wild, much as they are a large community of over 1000, about 120 are habituated and regularly visited by tourist, which activity takes one hour after finding them. Much as they are the main focus, other primates in this forest of interest include Black and white Columbus monkeys, L’Hoest Monkeys, Red tailed monkeys, Blue Monkey, Grey Checked Manageable, bush babies, pottos, lots of birds will be heard and seen on this trek like the Green buls, Tinker birds, Illadopsis, Robins and many more.

Depending on the success of the chimp trek, we shall have lunch then later have an optional swamp walk that provides more chances of observing and understanding primates and seeing more birds. And presumably a wonderful day.

Transfer to Rwanda for another passion primate safari. We shall start a scenic drive through the terraced gardens lots of stopovers whenever you wish to take photographs will be guaranteed, depart for Rwanda for gorilla tracking experience. Crossing Rwanda border requires $ 50 visa fee (for those who require Visa). Dinner and overnight at your booked lodge.

An early breakfast after which you proceed to Kinigi park station for briefing about gorilla trekking safaris, and then continue on for the trek with packed lunch and water. If time allows, you take an excursion to the beautiful twin lakes of Bulera and Ruhondo. Return to lodge for dinner and overnight. On the next day, after breakfast, you will proceed for Golden Monkey tracking it is a species of Old World monkey found within the Virunga conservation area of Central Africa, including four national parks: Mgahinga, in south-west Uganda; Volcanoes, in north-west Rwanda; and Virunga and Kahuzi-Biéga, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. It is restricted to high altitude forests and always near bamboo as they enjoy feeding on the shoots.

The Golden Monkey was previously thought to be a subspecies of the blue monkey and the two are similar overall, but the Golden Monkey has a golden-orange patch on the upper flanks and back.
