3 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking Tours Via Kigali Rwanda @ $1690
Are you looking for an amazing gorilla safari adventure holiday? Look no further, a 3-day?Uganda gorilla trekking?tour via Kigali, Rwanda is exactly what you need! This short safari will give you the opportunity to come face-to-face with a silverback and other gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Though it is a challenging trek, with a lot of mountainous terrain to cover, the experience is definitely worth it!
Unlike Mgahinga, where gorillas migrate to Parc National des Volcanoes in Rwanda or Virunga in Zaire (DRC), Bwindi Impenetrable Forest features more opportunities for mountain gorilla tracking. There aren’t many experiences in the world quite as unforgettable and enchanting than encountering mountain gorillas; with only 1040 left in the world today and 48% of them found in?Bwindi!
This 3-day Uganda gorilla trekking tour from Rwanda can be booked through Gorilla?Safaris?Uganda. Starting from and ending at Kigali Airport, this tour crosses over Katuna or Kyanika Border from Rwanda into Uganda; offering stunningly stunning views of various rolling geographical landforms. To enjoy this experience, you must purchase a?gorilla trekking?permit in advance as demand for them is high. For 2022-2024 permits, only Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) sells them at the cost of $700 USD.
