6 DAYS RWANDA PRIMATE SAFARI

This 6 days Rwanda primate safari will give you a chance to participate in two premium wildlife activities in Rwanda. Gorilla trekking and chimpanzee tracking which are considered to be some of the best to engage in while on safari in Africa. Both hikes can be challenging depending on where chimpanzee and gorillas nested the previous night. The chimp trekking differs from gorilla trekking because the  sighting are a bit more sporadic and rushed but worthwhile nonetheless as opposed to gorillas that stay for while in one location.
