Home FAQ Planning & logistics

Can I combine Kenya with Rwanda safari?

Direct answer

Yes — fly Nairobi to Kigali (about 1 hour 40 minutes) for Volcanoes National Park gorilla trekking (USD 1,500 permit) after a Mara safari. Allow 10–12 days total. The East Africa Tourist Visa (USD 100) covers Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda. Kenya offers scale and migration; Rwanda adds compact luxury gorilla access within 2–3 hours of Kigali.

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.
