This is a 7 day Apes tour that takes you to Murchison Falls which is one of Uganda's oldest conservation areas, it was initially gazetted as a game reserve in 1926 to protect a savanna that Winston Churchill described in 1907 as 'Kew Gardens and the zoo combined on an unlimited scale'.
Next visit takes you to Kibale forest National Park for chimpanzee tracking. The Park is a primatologist's dream and is home to the highest concentration of primates in the world. It hosts a population of more that 1,000 chimpanzees. Next visit, Semuliki National Park which is one of Africa's most biodiverse forests and is particularly noted for its varied bird population.
