Come face to face with wild mountain gorillas on an intimate East Africa safari spanning Uganda and Rwanda—an encounter that stirs the soul and lingers for life.

Africa’s endangered mountain gorillas have family units like our own, creating a strong human connection to these great apes. This primal allure is especially powerful for safari guide Richard de Gouveia, whose professional journey was shaped by childhood tragedy. Today, his love for family and nature inspire him to share Africa’s wild primates with travelers.
