Insurance

It is a condition of booking that all clients must have, and must demonstrate to the company prior to their departure, adequate insurance for the duration of the tour.

Such insurance should cover personal injury; medical expenses; repatriation in the event of accident, illness or death; cancellation or curtailment of the tour by either side and loss of, damage to, or theft of the clients’ personal property. Activities with a greater inherent risk, such as mountaineering, trekking, animal tracking on foot and white-water rafting should be covered if applicable. Theft, personal injury or any disruption to arrangements should be reported immediately to the company. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure they comply with the terms and condition of their travel insurance policy.

For travel insurance for those residing in the US CSA Freestyle Plan, MedjetAssist or Global Rescue are recommended.

Safari Activities

Chimpanzee Tracking

Tracking chimpanzees in their natural habitat, as they swing from the branches in the canopy high above the forest floor is nothing short of exhilarating. The chimps effortlessly cross and scamper through the trees above the gorge, and visitors on the other hand must cross the river using natural bridges in order to keep up with the chimps. So although the walk usually lasts only 2–3 hours, descending the steep gorge and crossing the log bridges over the river requires some agility and fitness.

Chimpanzee tracking is also available in nearby Kalinzu, a forest reserve 30 minutes drive from Kyambura Gorge Lodge where there is a community of about 40 habituated chimpanzees.
