Our Vision
Pinnacle Africa Safari’s ethos is to provide personalized service with the utmost dedication to the
safety and enjoyment of our travelers. We are committed to the well-being of our employees as well
as to having a positive impact on the communities and wild places that our trips reach. On all our
treks and safaris we embrace the environmental ethic “Take Nothing but Photographs, Leave Nothing
but Footprints”.
Our knowledge and experience of the region is what enables us to do safaris of the best possible
quality, even in the most difficult of circumstances. The huge infrastructure we have in place in Uganda, Rwanda, is what makes it possible to run safaris of such quality and inevitably this has required
us to make regular trainings of our staff.

On this tour, you will travel to see chimpanzees in Kibale Forest; wildlife and birds in Queen Elizabeth
National Park - elephant, lion, buffalo, hippo, leopard; and gorillas in Bwindi.
Kibale Forest has the highest number of primates in Africa - thirteen species in all, including red,
black and white colobus, blue monkeys and baboons and a large number of chimpanzees. A forest
walk provides a high possibility of seeing and hearing and seeing chimps, birds and other primates
playing around through the forest. An excursion to Bigodi wetland gives the opportunity of seeing the
unusual birds and other primates which live around the swamp. Continue to Queen Elizabeth National Park (QE), below the famous Rwenzori mountains, an African savannah park, consisting of plain
surroundings. The launch trip along the Kazinga Channel is especially rewarding for viewing hippo,
buffalo, elephant and a large host of birds amounting to over 500 species! The beautiful steeply
forested Kyambura Gorge nearby, is home not only to chimpanzees but also the red-tailed monkey,
black and white colobus and many bird species.

The magnificent Queen Elizabeth National
Park, in the western arm of the Great East
African Rift Valley, is centred around Lake
Edward and Lake George. The two lakes
are linked by the Kazinga channel, a waterway rich in wildlife and birds. The Rwenzori Mountains act as a majestic backdrop
to the park’s variety of habitats - tropical
forest, green meadows, savannah, crater
lakes and swamps. Continue further West
to track one of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
National Park, Rushaga or Mgahinga Gorilla
families of Uganda – all these are the edge
of the western rift valley. The forest is also
rich in birds, chimps, monkeys and butterflies.
Bwindi is one of the largest natural forests
in East Africa, with both montane and lowland forest. About half of the world‘s population of mountain gorillas - about 350 animals - are found
in Bwindi. Other activities include volcano climbing, guided nature walk in the forest for primates,
birds and butterflies or enjoy the breathtaking landscape!
Return to Kampala via Lake Mburo Park in Mbarara for unusual wildlife. This overnight stop is also
necessary to break the long journey from Bwindi.
For all categories of accommodation, all drinks (except bottled water in vehicle) are excluded in the
safari cost and clients are to pay for them direct to the hotels/Camps / Lodges. Clients could choose
to fly out the following day in cases where there are no flights for their departure on the last day of
the itinerary. A supplement for the extra night will be required.

have become more and more rare, and now are seldom seen. The birdlike in the forest and grasslands of the forest is abundant. There are almost 300 species, which have been identified here. There

2 - 4 hours trip would not be uncommon and so you should be fit and prepared with the correct footwear and drinking water for the duration and later. Upon return you can do the Bigodi Swamp walk
or a walk to the craters.
Overnight: Chimpanzee Guest House for Mid range, full board
Or: Ndali Lodge/Kyaninga Lodge for high level, full board

covered in dense vegetation that gives the park its name. In addition, the altitude of 5200 feet and
more means participants do need to be physically fit. The time taken to track the gorillas varies enormously, from as little as half an hour to as much as 8 hours before one returns to camp. Difficulty,
however, is not impossibility and coming face to face with the great primates is well worth it!
