You’ll stay in three luxurious lodges and be flown by helicopter between them taking in volcanoes, snow capped mountains and the wild savannah from up in the air.

You can also track the endangered mountain gorillas of the Bwindi forest, take a game drive through the Kansenyi plans to spot lions and leopards, meet the Batwa tribe and experience their traditions and hike the Sabinyo volcano – where you’ll stand on the border of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda – for an unforgettable bucket list holiday.

Each lodge has been built on the eco-luxury premise and each stays close to nature, so you can view the Impentrable Forest and spot local wildlife from your room or take in the views of the mythical Mountains on the Moon.

The safari comes from Volcanoes Safaris who specialise in mountain gorilla and chimp safaris and have been undertaking eco-tours for 15 years.
