Uganda Overland: Gorillas & Chimps

Start & end in Kampala 9 days Up to 22

About this trip

Nine days overlanding through Uganda, built around two proper wildlife encounters — chimps in Kalinzu Forest and mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, tracked with experienced guides.

You travel by Lando, an overland truck built for this kind of terrain, and camp out along the way rather than moving between hotels. It keeps you close to the landscape and the wildlife rather than watching it from a distance.

This is a budget-conscious way to do Uganda properly, aimed at travellers who want the real wildlife experiences without the higher cost of a fully tailored safari.

What you'll do

  • Track chimpanzees on foot in Kalinzu Forest
  • Trek with experienced guides in search of mountain gorillas
  • Travel by overland truck (Lando) through Uganda's forests
  • Wilderness camping through the trip
Good to know
  • Camping-based trip, not hotels — expect a hands-on, outdoors style throughout
  • Gorilla and chimp trekking involve walking in forest terrain, so a reasonable level of fitness helps
  • Overland travel by truck means longer days on the road between wildlife stops
