Tour Overview
3 Day Gorilla Trekking in Uganda From Kigali, Rwanda
Our 3-Day Gorilla Trekking in Uganda from Kigali is perfect trip to book if you don’t have much time but still want to see the amazing and rare Mountain Gorillas in the wild. It’s one of the fastest and most budget-friendly ways to go gorilla trekking in Uganda’s beautiful Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
The drive from Kigali to Bwindi takes only 4 to 5 hours, much shorter than the 8 to 10 hours it takes from Entebbe or Kampala. Even better—you’ll save $700 per person on the gorilla permit by trekking in Uganda instead of Rwanda! We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Kigali or the airport and take care of everything, including your drive across the border into Uganda and all the way to the Nkuringo Sector of Bwindi National Park.
All transport and comfy lodging are included, so your trip will be smooth, exciting, and totally stress-free.

Travel To Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Enjoy a beautiful drive from Kigali to Lake Mutanda near Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Pass the green hills, forests, volcanoes, and small villages. Our guide will pick you up from the airport or your hotel. At Mutanda Lake Resort, check in and relax. In the afternoon, you can take a nature walk, swim in the lake, or enjoy a sunset boat cruise.
In the morning, travel to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for an incredible gorilla trek. With a packed lunch from your lodge, follow expert rangers through dense jungle, searching for signs of gorillas—droppings, nests, broken branches. Finally, face a silverback guarding his family. That powerful, peaceful moment will stay with you forever—a rare and unforgettable wildlife encounter.

"Wonderful Safari Experience"
My husband and I just finished this tour with Andrew Yaweh as our guide. We had an amazing experience. Saw so many animals and learned so much about Uganda from Andrew. The gorilla trekking was an unbelievable unique and rewarding experience to be so close to these amazing animals. Andrew was an expert driver and fun companion. He made sure we saw so many animals and special parts of this amazing country as well as engaging in great conversations!
