Holidays
Born Free offers you a unique range of great-value, tailor-made holidays. Our trips are really special and offer a unique, not to be missed opportunity. Because you won’t just enjoy superb destinations and see wonderful wildlife, you’ll also get to visit our projects, see our work in action, meet our teams and visit our rescue animals.
And when you come on a Born Free holiday you will be raising funds to help the animals you visit. Proceeds from every trip we organise directly support and protect wild animals in need.

The Adventure Company
Mountain Gorillas
Join The Adventure Company on a trip to Uganda, where guides will lead you through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in search of families of mountain gorillas. The opportunity to interact with the gorillas in their own environment can be wet, muddy and require some walking, but sitting meters away from a great silverback is always a unique and unforgettable experience. Trips also include a visit to Kimbale National Park, where the forests are dense with chimps and other primates, and game drives at Queen Elizabeth National Park and Lake Mburo, where you can spot lions, elephants, zebra and wallowing hippos.
On longer trips, you will stop at the equator as you journey towards Uganda’s capital, where you will have the option to take part in activities such as rafting on the White Nile. You will also visit The Born Free Foundation’s Chimpanzee sanctuary on Ngamba Island, which provides homes for orphaned chimpanzees who were rescued from the bushmeat or pet trades. The project is supported by The Adventure Company, who donate a generous amount from each booking towards the care of these chimpanzees.
The Adventure company are also collecting money for Born Free to support the Bear Bile sanctuaries in Vietnam and China.
The Adventure Company aims to run all of their tours in a responsible and respectful manner with regard to both the communities whose land we travel through and the wildlife that lives there. www.adventurecompany.co.uk
