Track the last mountain gorillas through the forests we call home.
Choose your encounter
Three ways to meet our closest wild relatives, each one fully guided, fully handled.
Gorilla Tracking
The crown jewel. Trek through ancient rainforest to spend an hour just metres from a family of wild mountain gorillas.
Chimpanzee Tracking
Venture into Kibale, the primate capital of the world, where the calls of our closest cousins echo through the canopy.
Other Experiences
A great safari is more than a single morning. Add any of these to round out your adventure.
More forest, more stories: add to your safari.
Who We Are
Some experiences you watch. This one watches you back.
Msaape Roots & Routes is a homegrown safari company built around a single, unforgettable moment, sitting a few metres from a wild mountain gorilla, deep in the forests of Uganda and Rwanda. We grew up beside these parks, and we’ve spent years making the journey to them effortless.
