The destination

About Kyambura Gorge

Kyambura Gorge cuts a hundred metres deep through the Queen Elizabeth savannah, a hidden ribbon of rainforest known as the valley of apes. A habituated chimpanzee community lives in this sunken world, and trekking them means descending into a humid, fig-scented realm of red-tailed monkeys, giant forest hornbills and river crossings on fallen trunks. Emerging back onto the sunlit plain, elephants grazing to the horizon, is a moment of pure Uganda.
