Kibale Forest, UgandaKibale Forest to the east of the snow-capped Ruwenzori Mountains offers a splendid forest habitat, and is home to an incredible 11 species of primates. Amongst them are chimpanzees. Other species include black and white colobus monkey, red colobus, L' Hoest's monkey and grey-cheeked mangabey. The birdlife here is also outstanding - crowned eagles, African grey parrot, black bee-eater, black-and-white fl ycatcher and yellow-mantled weavers may all be found here. The wealth of wildlife in this magnifi cent forest will delight the keen naturalist, and an overnight stay here is recommended as bird and mammal activity is at its best in the very early morning, and late at night. Tracking the noisy chimpanzee families racing through this verdant forest is a thrilling experience! Ndali Lodge HIGHNdali is perched on the edge of Lake Nyinambuga. There is a main thatched lodge with a spacious sitting room and dining room that is fl anked by eight luxurious cottages built of local stone and thatch. The cottages each have panoramic views of the spectacular 'Mountains of the Moon' and are imaginatively furnished using local materials.Primate Lodge MIDThis simple, pleasant camp consists of a mixture of tented accommodation (large tents on wooden decking) and stone-built cottages. Each of the rooms is situated in the forest and each has its own verandah on which you can simply sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of the forest around you.Murchison Falls National ParkMurchison Falls is renowned for the beauty of the River Nile, which dissects the park, and for the beauty of the falls themselves, where the 50-metre wide River Nile is forced through a narrow cleft in the rocks. A three-hour launch trip to the bottom of the falls is unforgettable, both to experience this mighty river and to see the wildlife that basks on its banks. On game drives in Murchison, Cape buffalo, Rothschild's giraffe, Uganda kob and Defassa waterbuck are commonly seen. There are six species of primate here including chimpanzee and large carnivores include lion, leopard and spotted hyena. The park also boasts an extensive birdlife most notable of which is the endangered shoebill.Nile Safari Camp MIDOn the banks of the River Nile, halfway between Murchison Falls and Lake Albert, this is an exclusive tented camp. Blending unobtrusively into riverine woodland, it has six log chalets and six luxury tents.Or visit us on the web www.wildlifeworldwide.com75AFRICA | UGANDA & RWANDA 76Departure dates Fri 17 Jun - Sun 26 Jun 11 Fri 19 Aug - Sun 28 Aug 11 Fri 14 Oct - Sun 23 Oct 11 Fri 15 Jun - Sun 24 Jun 12 Fri 17 Aug - Sun 26 Aug 12 Fri 12 Oct - Sun 21 Oct 12Flight inclusive cost per person From £3195Land only cost per person From £2685Single room supplement From £305 (not available at Ngamba Island)What's included Flights (fl ight inclusive package only), transfers, meals as indicated, one night hotel accommodation and three nights lodge accommodation and three nights tented camp, one gorilla permit Tour code WUGCMax group size 8GORILLAS, WILDLIFE & CHIMPSHighlights.
