Vutia Tours & Adventures · 6 October 2026 · 2 min read

Mountain gorilla trekking, rainforest primates and classic wildlife — two countries that pair naturally.

Uganda and Rwanda make it possible to build a journey around primates as well as classic wildlife — forests, lakes, savannah and the Nile.

Uganda

  • Bwindi Impenetrable National Park — famous for mountain gorilla trekking.
  • Queen Elizabeth National Park — savannah wildlife and the Kazinga Channel.
  • Murchison Falls — dramatic river scenery and wildlife along the Nile.

Rwanda

  • Volcanoes National Park — the country's flagship gorilla destination, trekking through the Virunga landscape.
  • Nyungwe Forest — chimpanzee and forest experiences.
  • Akagera National Park — savannah wildlife and lakes.
