Booking a gorilla trekking safari from Kigali in Rwanda allows you to explore two countries, Uganda and Rwanda. In Uganda, you’ll trek mountain gorillas in either Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. While traveling to Uganda, enjoy scenic views of rolling hills and, in Rwanda, take a Kigali City tour after your gorilla trekking experience.

Opting for gorilla trekking in Uganda from Kigali is cost-effective as the permit in Rwanda is $1500 per person, double the cost in Uganda ($800 for foreign non-residents and $700 for foreign residents). Additionally, choosing this route helps save on accommodation, with a minimum trekking safari duration of 2 days from Kigali compared to 3 days from Entebbe. If you have an early flight to Kigali or plan to stay in the city before the trek, you might even complete the trek in just one day by traveling to Uganda early in the morning for the briefing at 7:00 am.
