8 Days The Great Ape Safari Vacation and Luxury Tour Package
Duration: 8 Days / 7 Nights Priced From: $8710 pp Dbl. Occ. Dates: Jan - Dec

This safari affords you the rare opportunity to view Africa’s great apes in two of their majestic natural habitats, Rwanda’s mist-shrouded Virunga Massif and Tanzania’s Mahale Mountains.
Begin in Equatorial Africa in the tiny republic of Rwanda, a mountainous country with a temperate year-round climate. Its enduring attraction is its primate population, in particular the Mountain Gorillas—one of the most awesome wildlife viewing experiences in the world. Explore the capital city, Kigali, then after your first gorilla trek, venture to the shores of beautiful Lake Kivu. Relax on the lakeshore at Kivu Sun before embarking on another day of tracking the spectacular Mountain Gorillas.
In Tanzania, the remote jungle-draped peaks of Mahale Mountain tower over the azure waters of Lake Tanganyika and Greystoke Camp, your home for three days. Track some of Africa’s last remaining wild chimpanzees here: your guide’s eyes pick out last night’s nests—shadowy clumps high in a gallery of trees crowding the sky, as other clues lead deeper into the forest. Then, suddenly you are in their midst: preening each other’s coats, squabbling noisily, or bounding into the trees to swing effortlessly between the vines. The slopes also support a diverse forest fauna, including red colobus, red-tailed and blue monkeys, and an array of colorful forest birds.
