Tour Overview
This 2-day Gorilla Trekking Tour in Uganda from Kigali is the perfect option for those with limited time or a tight budget. Designed for travelers who prefer a shorter 3–4-hour drive to Bwindi, rather than the 8–9-hour journey from Entebbe or Kampala in Uganda, this tour makes it easier to experience gorilla trekking without the long haul. While Rwanda offers incredible gorilla tours, the $1,500 permit fee can be a bit steep. In contrast, Uganda’s permit is more budget-friendly at $800. This affordable 2-day gorilla trek offers an incredible opportunity to see the rare and majestic mountain gorillas in their natural jungle home—huge, awe-inspiring creatures you won’t find in any zoo around the world.
