Embark on a 9‑day journey through Uganda and Rwanda, coming face‑to‑face with Africa's most iconic wildlife and the communities working to protect it. Track rhinos on foot, cruise the Nile, search for tree‑climbing lions, and trek deep into rainforest to meet chimpanzees and endangered mountain gorillas, all while staying in ecolodges that uplift local people and conservation efforts.
