Track the fast moving and elusive chimpanzees in Kyambura Gorge and take a boat trip on the Kazinga Channel to see the rich array of wildlife and birds which gather by the waters’ edge. The safari highlights include gorilla tracking in Bwindi and Uganda, a canoe trip on Lake Mburo, a nature walk in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, tree climbing in Ishasha, chimpanzees in Kyambura Gorge, and seeing primates, a bat cave, and Blue Lake in Maramagambo Forest.

Women’s Only Adventures in Montana: America’s “Last Best Place”
BOZEMAN, Mont.— AdventureWomen,Inc., a pioneer in women's vacations and adventure travel since 1982 and the oldest adventure travel company for active women over 30, is offering three adventures in Montana for solo women travelers. At an all-inclusive price and jam-packed with adventure, each of these trips offer women travelers an incredible value.
Cattle Ranch Ride in Montana
From the cozy Montana dude ranch that is the home base, these women will horseback ride through canyons and open country, work cattle, and savor the freedom and serenity of this expansive Montana landscape. There are new riding opportunities every day as well as team penning and cattle work. Seven mountain ranges are the backdrop at this magnificent Montana dude ranch, including the Crazy Mountains, the backdrop panorama for the movie, “The Horse Whisperer.” This Montana cattle ranch was voted one of Montana’s “Magnificent Seven Guest Ranches” by Travel and Leisure Magazine. Visitors will love the ambience of the cedar cabins, tasty ranch cuisine prepared with a western flair, and stunning scenery. Dates: June 13th-20th, 2009. Cost: $2595 ($500 Deposit).
Montana Guest Ranch Summer Adventure
Home to some of the last remaining wild land in the United States, Montana is renowned for its outdoor adventures. On this women’s only guest ranch adventure, visitors will learn to fly fish, take a horseback riding jaunt across Montana fields, and enjoy whitewater rafting on the Gallatin River. Participants take a safari to Yellowstone National Park to see the “big game” and unique ecosystem, relive history as they visit the Missouri River headwaters made famous by Lewis and Clark, take a trip through time to historic gold rush towns of the 19th century, and experience a Western rodeo and fireworks on the 4th of July. Dates: June 30th-July 6th, 2009. Cost: $2695 ($600 Deposit).
Montana Guest Ranch Fall Spectacular
This adventurous vacation in “Big Sky” Montana combines hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, and more. Based near Yellowstone National Park, out of the historic 320 Guest Ranch in Montana, visitors will get a taste of what dude ranch vacations are all about. The fall season in Montana is especially spectacular, with clear, crisp, mountain nights; golden, quaking aspen; fewer tourists in Yellowstone; and the melodic bugling of elk during the fall rutting season. Dates: September 12th-18th, 2009. Cost: $2695 ($600 Deposit).
