๐Ÿ’ซ Holy Grail Wildlife Sighting - The Pangolin ๐Ÿ’ซ

Pangolins are fascinating creatures and are in dire need of conservation to ensure their survival. Significant poaching is sadly the number one threat to their survival. It is falsely claimed that Pangolin scales have medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine, despite there being no scientific evidence.

On our most recent trip to Uganda we were fortunate to meet with a group of reformed poachers who have dedicated themselves to rescuing, rehabilitating and returning these sweet mammals back to their natural environment. Additionally, the team also focuses their efforts on educating the local communities on alternative ways to support their families with farming, fishing, bee keeping, etc instead of poaching to make money.

It was an unforgettable visit and we are very appreciative of the efforts of this team. THANK YOU!

During the trek, youโ€™ll have the opportunity to observe chimpanzees as they swing through the trees, forage for food, and interact with each other. Itโ€™s an adventure that offers insight into the lives of these intelligent creatures while immersing you in the beauty of Ugandaโ€™s rainforest.

Fun Fact: Humans and chimpanzees share 98.5% of the same DNA. As a result, we share many similar features such as hugging to show affection, expressive faces and laughing while playing.

๐ŸŒŸ Experience Highlight - Gorilla Trekking ๐ŸŒŸ

Unarguably the highlight of a visit to Rwanda or Uganda is Gorilla Trekking. Getting up close to these beautiful animals is often an emotional and awe-inspiring experience.

Gorilla trekking is a year round activity but is most popular during the dry months of June - September. Permit fees range from $700 (Uganda) to $1500 (Rwanda). A percentage of these permits go to round the clock guard keeping of the habituated families to keep them safe from poachers, as well as aiding local communities.
