Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Why choose Rwanda for gorilla trekking?

Direct answer

Choose Rwanda for compact logistics—fly into Kigali, trek next day at Volcanoes NP, and add golden monkeys (0) or Dian Fossey hikes without long overland drives. Paved access, shorter typical treks, luxury lodge density near Musanze, and a single ,500 permit fee suit time-poor travellers and seniors willing to pay more than Uganda's 0 rate.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
