4 Days from Kigali into Gorilla Country

Kigali is just four to five hours from Bwindi saving a full day versus flying via Entebbe. Uganda gorilla permits are $800 per person against $1,500 in Rwanda, making this the smartest route both logistically and financially.

Very little on your part. Your driver-guide handles the vehicle documentation, COMESA insurance and all processing fees, which are included in your package. You need your passport and, for most nationalities, a Uganda visa obtained in advance online. The crossing typically takes thirty to forty-five minutes.

Yes all fuel for the entire journey is included, along with tolls, parking and border processing fees. There are no transport costs to settle en route.

The dry seasons June to August and December to February offer the most comfortable trekking. Gorilla tracking is available year-round; the wet season brings a lush green forest and fewer visitors.

Waterproof boots, long-sleeved shirt and trousers, a rain poncho, gardening gloves, insect repellent, sunscreen, and a daypack. A full packing list is provided on booking.

Minimum age is 15 years. Treks range from thirty minutes to six hours. A reasonable level of fitness is advised. Porters are available at the park gate and are strongly recommended.

Most nationalities require a Uganda tourist visa, obtained in advance through the Uganda e-Visa portal. A Yellow Fever certificate is mandatory for entry.
