7-Day Gorilla, Chimpanzee & Queen Elizabeth Safari

The 7-Day Gorilla, Chimpanzee & Queen Elizabeth Safari is the ultimate first-time Uganda itinerary, combining the country’s three greatest experiences — mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi, chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, and classic savannah wildlife in Queen Elizabeth National Park. It’s the definitive “Pearl of Africa” adventure.

You’ll travel in a private 4×4 safari vehicle with a professional English-speaking driver-guide, staying six nights in comfortable mid-range lodges with meals. Both the gorilla permit (US$800) and the chimpanzee permit are included — the two biggest cost items — and we secure them on your behalf, so both headline encounters are fully covered.

Safari highlights

This trip has it all. Trek to a habituated chimpanzee community in Kibale, enjoy savannah game drives and the famous Kazinga Channel cruise in Queen Elizabeth for lions, elephants, and hippos, and finish with the crowning experience — a magical hour with a mountain gorilla family in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The mix of forest and savannah ecosystems makes for extraordinary variety. See our Uganda gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, and Uganda safari guides for more.

Why book with Exodus Go Tours

As a specialist Africa tour operator, we handle every detail — both permits, your private vehicle, expert guide, park fees, the Kazinga cruise, quality lodges, and transfers — so this once-in-a-lifetime trip runs seamlessly. Gorilla and chimp permits are limited and sell out, so early booking is essential. Contact us to secure your permits and dates.

Good to know

Please note that gorilla trekking has a minimum age of 15 years, as set by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, so this safari is not suitable for younger children.
