Volcanoes National Park
Rwanda
Hidden in some of Africa’s most ancient forests are some of the world’s most revered and rare species – from mountain gorillas to golden monkeys, lemurs and chimpanzees – primate treks are truly unparalleled experiences.
Trek through the rainforests of Uganda or Rwanda to meet the endangered mountain gorillas or follow expert guides into the lush jungles of Volcanoes National Park to observe the playful golden monkeys. Venture to Tanzania’s remote Mahale Mountains or Rubondo island to track wild chimpanzees. Other unique species include various colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, different species of galago and vervet monkeys.
Amidst the breathtaking alien landscapes of Madagascar, seek out 107 species of lemur, from the iconic ring-tailed variety to the fluffy red ruffed lemur and the small brown mouse lemur – not forgetting the fantastically freaky aye-aye.

Gorilla trek tips from our expert
Meeting wild gorillas in Africa is described as the “greatest wildlife encounter on earth” by Sir David Attenborough. I can agree. I’ll never forget the hours I spent with different gorilla families. Babies tumbled together and scampered after their mothers, huge male silverbacks watched protectively over their troop, and the raw energy of being in their presence is just incredible!
