Great Ape Expedition

This trip is now fully booked. Please contact Peregrine Travel Centre on 08 8223 5905 to register your interest in our Great Ape Expedition to Uganda in 2010.

Join Peregrine and Dr Carla Litchfield on a primate experience like no other.

This specialised tour incorporates all the best Uganda has to offer with a strong focus on Uganda's Gorillas, Chimps and other primates of the region. We visit some of Africa's most famous national parks including Kibale National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls – and many more. We also get to spend time on Ngamba Island on Lake Victoria, home to approximately 40 rescued and orphaned chimps. A definite highlight will be your first glimpse of the giant silverback, deep within the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – a remarkable experience which will be impossible to forget.
