Gorilla Encounter

14 Days, Nairobi to Nairobi - Trek to see gorillas on this superb short safari in East Africa.

Go all ‘George of the Jungle’ on this spectacular Gorilla Encounter expedition, packed with more action than you can poke a banana leaf at. This superb short African safari starts and ends in Nairobi, Kenya, with an optional jungle trek in neighbouring Uganda. Get up close and personal with a family of wild mountain gorillas, help a local charity in Jinja, track chimpanzees in Kyambura Gorge and marvel at the fabulous flamingos at Lake Nakuru. With so many memorable animal encounters, you’ll be giving David Attenborough a run for his money.
