The ultimate holiday for lovers of wildlife. Combine a primate safari in Uganda with a classic big game safari in Kenya. This eco-luxury safari includes gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and game drives and hot air balloon trips in the Maasai Mara Reserve. At the right time of year (Jul - Oct) you may even get to tick off yet another sought-after wildlife experience off your bucket list, the great wildebeest migration. The luxurious Sanctuary Olonana Camp is set on a private stretch of the Mara River. In addition to the spectacular game viewing, you can also avail of an array of once-in-a-lifetime activities including cultural visits, bush dinners, sundowners, balloon and scenic flights.
Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is nestled deep in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Because of its unique location, it's not unusual for gorilla families to pay a visit to your camp. On your gorilla safari with your experienced guide, you will track deep into the forest with your intimate group and once you have located them, you will spend up to a maximum of 1 hour with a family of gorillas.
