Gorilla Safaris Rwanda, Uganda & Congo


Most safaris are focused on guests participating in two or three activities per day, for example morning and afternoon game drives in four-wheel-drive (4wd) vehicles or minivans.

A game drive consists of a drive around the park or reserve in search of wildlife. Your guide helps you to interpret and understand what you are seeing in the bush. The drive lasts 2 to 5 hours and are conducted when the wildlife is most active. That is early in the morning (often before breakfast), just after breakfast, in the late afternoon and at night (where the park authorities do allow).

After an exhilarating day on safari, many guests return to their exquisite European or Pan-African cuisine in lodges and camps that range from comfortable to extremely luxurious with private swimming pools and butler service.

Be apart of this and more by choosing a safari that includes parks that allow you to participate in activities that make you a more integral part of the safari, like walking, boating, canoeing, horseback and elephant-back riding.

Why Gorilla Safaris in Africa?


Primates in Kidepo

  • Safaris in Africa can be considerably cheaper, and more secluded, than in other continents
  • There are a number of national parks and countless private game reserves to discover. Whether you're coming for the views, the wildlife, the culture, the activities, or the accommodation, you'll find it and so much more in Africa. 

It's easy to combine a safari in Africa with a beach holiday, a hop-over to another country, or a hiking adventure. 
Each national park has its own highlights and advantages. Our Safaris are split between the Eastern and Southern Africa by destinations, and Africa's domestic flight and road network makes it easy to combine a few national parks along a single itinerary.

Flying-Safaris-in-Ugandas

Kahuzi Biega National Park

Flying safaris are safaris in which guests are flown within or near the wildlife reserves that are to be visited. They are then usually picked up at the airport or airstrip upon arrival and driven to their camp or lodge — which is often a game drive in itself

Maiko National Park

Driving Safaris are simply safaris in which guests are driven by their driver/guide from reserve to reserve. You generally have the same guide throughout the safari, who have very good knowledge of all the parks and reserves to be visited. This safari is less expensive than flying safaris.

A few important notes

  1. Consider choosing smaller camps and lodges that are unfenced where wildlife is allowed to walk freely about the grounds.
  2. In terms of the long-term future of Africa’s wildlife reserves, it is important to consider selecting a destination from which local people benefit in tangible ways.
  3. To be guided by or to meet happy people from various cultures and to learn about their customs will greatly enhance your trip to Africa.
  4. Another excellent way to get the most out of your adventure is to have a private safari arranged for you. On this safari You do not have to bow to the wishes of the majority of the group or a set itinerary of group departures. With your guide, you are basically free to explore your own interests, spend as much time as you want photographing particular animals, and generally do things at a pace that suits you. In some cases, for an extra charge you can book a private vehicle for your party when on a flying safari or on a group driving safari.
  5. We highly recommend this option as it allows you greater flexibility as to how you spend your time during the day.
