Situated at the very heart of Africa, the location of Uganda and Rwanda between the mighty rain forests of the Congo and the vast savannah of eastern Africa gives them a diversity and profusion of nature that is unparalleled on the continent.

These are countries of significance out of all proportion to their size: They are the Sources of the Nile, are bordered by the fabled snow-capped Mountains of the Moon, host one of the highest bird species densities in the world and contain five of Africa's seven Great Lakes. They are the last refuges on Earth of the highly endangered Mountain Gorilla, Chimpanzee and numerous other primates, and are lands of ancient kingdoms, rich history and warm, welcoming people.

Go walking with the chimps on the Jane Goodall-run Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Contact us for more details of this exclusive experience.

Track the Mountain Gorilla and the Golden Moneys in Rwanda -- this vibrant country is rapidly shaking off the political turmoil of the past and emerging as one of Africa's most exciting new destinations.
