Explore our most popular special interest safari experiences below and let Nturo Safaris create a journey that reflects how you want to experience Africa.
Gorilla Trekking
Gorilla expeditions in Uganda and Rwanda provide a rare opportunity to witness endangered mountain gorillas in their natural forest habitat. Guided gorilla trekking experiences take you through dense tropical rainforests, where you can observe majestic silverbacks and their families at close range. Travelers can choose between standard gorilla treks with fully habituated groups or immersive gorilla habituation experiences led by experienced rangers and researchers. Easily combined with other wildlife safaris, gorilla trekking offers an enriching forest hiking adventure and remains one of East Africa’s most rewarding wildlife encounters.
Game Drives
Game drives provide a classic safari experience and remain the best way to encounter Africa’s iconic wildlife in the wild. Guided daily drives take you through diverse savannah landscapes and protected game reserves, stopping at prime viewing areas to spot lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos. Led by knowledgeable safari guides, each drive offers insight into animal behavior and ecosystems. With changing scenery and new wildlife encounters each day, guests return to their lodge to relax, making game drives a perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and authentic African safari exploration.
Chimpanzee Tracking
Chimpanzee trekking offers one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences on an African safari, allowing visitors to observe these intelligent primates in their natural forest habitat. Guided treks lead you through ancient tropical forests to encounter human-habituated chimpanzee communities, accompanied by experienced trackers and rangers. Watch as chimpanzees interact, communicate, and move through the canopy, revealing their complex social behaviors. For a deeper experience, extended primate walks allow you to spend several hours or a full day following a wild chimpanzee troop, creating an immersive forest hiking adventure that blends conservation, learning, and close-up wildlife encounters.
Bird Watching
It's hard not to be fascinated by East Africa's birdlife; the sheer diversity of species, sizes, and colors is astounding. The varied landscapes provide a rich habitat for unique and colorful birds. Birding safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, or Rwanda offer a treasure trove of species to discover. Expert guides lead immersive birdwatching excursions to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitats, listen to their melodic songs, and witness their fascinating behaviors. Many birdwatching spots are located in national parks where you may encounter elephants, lions, and leopards while on your birding trail.
Mountain Hiking
In East Africa, many exhilarating hiking adventures are waiting for you to explore. You can journey through alpine wonderlands and botanical paradises on your way to snow-capped summits. Our hiking adventure safaris showcase some of the region's most iconic peaks, including Kilimanjaro, Rwenzoris, Mount Kenya, and the Virunga Volcanoes. These majestic mountains are the backdrop for unforgettable climbing expeditions that will push your limits and reward you with breathtaking views and a profound sense of achievement. Whether you seek the challenge of reaching the roof of Africa or the allure of conquering towering volcanic peaks, our hiking adventure safaris offer the perfect blend of adrenaline, natural beauty, and unforgettable experiences.

Designed for culturally curious explorers, these safaris provide a unique perspective on local life while offering a deeper understanding of the region and yourself.
