Both chimpanzee tracking and gorilla trekking offer incredible opportunities to see our closest relatives in their natural habitat. But they are very different experiences.

Gorilla Trekking: The Gentle Giants

Gorilla trekking is often described as a more “solemn” and “spiritual” experience. Mountain gorillas are generally peaceful and quiet.

• Location: High altitude mountains.
• Pace: Slower, but can be steep.
• Interaction: Quiet observation.

Chimpanzee Tracking: The Lively Cousins

Chimpanzees are loud, active, and highly social. A chimp track is often more fast-paced as they move through the canopy.

• Location: Tropical rainforests.
• Pace: Can be fast as chimps move quickly.
• Interaction: Exciting, vocal, and dynamic.
