This 8-day private safari focuses on primates. It starts in Kibale Forest, the 'primate capital of the world', with a guided rainforest trek to find chimpanzees. It continues to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for a mountain gorilla trek, and ends with golden monkeys in the bamboo forests of Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park.

In between, you'll have a game drive and a Kazinga Channel boat cruise in Queen Elizabeth National Park, with hippos, crocodiles and abundant birdlife, and an afternoon with the Batwa community near Bwindi. Your English-speaking local driver-guide travels with you throughout in a private 4x4 with a pop-up roof.

The trip begins in Kampala or Entebbe and ends at Kigali International Airport. The chimpanzee and gorilla permits, golden monkey trekking and the main park activities are all included. You choose standard, mid-range or luxury lodges, and the trip is rated moderate.
