Safari summary
Begin in The Republic of the Congo and over 5,250 square miles of verdant rainforest, swamps, and savannahs in Odzala-Kokoua National Park. Set off with experienced guides to find the bais hidden within the rainforest, where salt-rich soil attracts forest elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, and a myriad of forest animals from miles around.
Continue to Rwanda for two very different primate trekking experiences. In Nyungwe Forest National Park spend two days exploring the diverse climates and terrains of the park. Lush forests at varying altitudes offer refuge for a quarter of Africa’s primate species, chimpanzees and colobus monkeys among them. Travel next to Volcanoes National Park, the area that played host to acclaimed researcher Dian Fossey for over 20 years, and set off in search of silverback gorillas on guided treks.
Next, journey into Tanzania where the Great Migration takes center stage. Have front-row seats to the annual migration in the Grumeti Reserve, and round out your trip at the beautiful Greystoke Mahale on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Mahale Mountains National Park, which is home to some of the last wild chimpanzees in the world.
