Not to be missed is Gorilla tracking in Bwindi; while chimpanzee can be spotted in Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Both Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls National Parks offer wonderful savannah safari with good wildlife viewing.

Uganda Highlight Safari takes you to one of the very few places to see the endangered mountain Gorillas, combines primate viewing with classic Savannah safari. Gives you balance between Vehicle, scheduled flights, boat and walking activities and not leaving out the excellent birding experience and the scenic beauty.
