It's a walk in the park

Our love of gorillas has long been reflected in literature and films—Tarzan, King Kong, The Jungle Book, Gorillas in the Mist—and their popularity continues to grow. But due to climate change and poaching, only a few hundred mountain gorillas remain, restricted to just two isolated highland areas in the border region of Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo. Since there are none in captivity, their future depends on their survival in the wild.

Visit gorillas and chimpanzees where they live, on foot in the wild. Trek the afro-montane forests of the Albertine Rift Valley. Bushwhack remote eco-systems in the Congo Basin. Boat up river through the jungles of Gabon. Hunt with the Ba'aka pygmies in Dzanga Shanga. Join our next expedition to Gorillaland, where it all began and still goes on. 

As well as some of its best wildlife, East Africa has the continent’s greatest features: its highest peaks, largest lakes, thickest jungles and most teeming savannas. Whether it’s the Karamoja Apalis or Grauer’s Gorilla you’re after, we can take you in comfortable pursuit of the region’s rarest species, and into their remotest habitats. You’re in our capable hands.
