5 Days 4 Nights Gorilla & Golden Monkey of Mgahinga Odyssey Safari

per person

Mountain gorillas are descendants of ancestral monkeys and apes found in Africa and Arabia during the start of the Oligocene epoch (24-34  million years ago) that have inspired many great artists, from Captain Robert von Beringia, George Schaller to Dian Fossey. It is on this tour that you will see what they saw. Follow them in the wild and although strong and powerful, mountain Gorillas are generally gentle and very shy. Join us for this high-end safari to experience the lifestyle of the mountain Gorillas who share 98% with human beings. Due to the nature of this unique safari, it is best enjoyed as an individual safari or family safari. Travel dates can be customized depending on the availability of Gorilla viewing permits – and safari is open throughout the year.
