Dian Fossey Expedition

Dian Fossey's meeting with Dr. Leakey at Olduvai Gorge inspired her to study mountain gorillas. In 1967 Dian moved to Rwanda where she established Karisoke, a research camp in the Parc National des Volcans. In 1970, Peanuts, an adult male, touched her hand. This was the first friendly gorilla-to- human contact ever recorded.

For those seeking to explore the spectacular rivers, mountains, volcanoes, endless jungle and prolific wildlife of Uganda and Rwanda, this expedition is the archetypal explorer's dream.

• Join a trek in search of Uganda's and Rwanda's critically endangered gorillas and enjoy an up-close encounter with these wonderful creatures.
