List of Advantages of fly into Kigali and trek gorillas in Bwindi forest Uganda

November 13, 2019
List of Advantages of fly into Kigali and trek gorillas in Bwindi forest Uganda

List of Advantages of fly into Kigali and trek gorillas in Bwindi forest Uganda, gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda’s Bwindi impenetrable forest national park and in Mgahinga gorilla national park is much cheaper and more affordable than trekking Rwanda gorillas in Volcanoes national park, currently, Uganda gorilla trekking cost $600 per person while Rwanda gorilla permit was doubled in May 2017 from $750 to $1500. Below is the full list of advantages of flying into Kigali Rwanda and trek gorillas in the Bwindi forest of Uganda.

  1. When you fly to Kigali instead of flying to Entebbe and go for a gorilla safari in Uganda, it means that you will be saving  5 to 6  hours’ drive because from Kigali airport takes about 3 to 4 hours to reach Bwindi forest or Mgahinga while it takes 9 to 10 hour from Entebbe airport/Kampala to Bwindi forest. so, it is shorter driving from Kigali to Bwindi forest or Mgahinga. Bwindi forest impenetrable national park and Mgahinga gorilla national parks are located on the border of Rwanda and the nearest international airport is Kigali international airport in Rwanda compared to Entebbe international airport in Uganda, this makes it very easy for the tourist to fly to Kigali and trek mountain gorilla in Uganda

2. Fly to Kigali and go for Uganda mountain gorilla habituation experience in Bwindi forest, for any who wish or interested gorilla habituation experience it can only be found and done in Uganda-rushaga sector of Bwindi forest national park, this kind of experience gives an opportunity to tourist and another visitor who want to take part in habituating gorilla group to get used to humans before it is open for tourism.

3. Trekking gorillas in Uganda from Kigali Rwanda means saving money, flying into Kigali, and cross over to Uganda, tourist gives gets an opportunity to go for the affordable gorilla safari in Bwindi impenetrable forest national park or in Mgahinga gorilla national parks both parks are located in southwestern Uganda bordering with Rwanda, gorilla permit price is $600 this is very cheap compared to Rwanda gorilla permit which costs $1500 which means by flying to Kigali and trek gorillas in Uganda you will be saving $900 on each permit.

4. Volcano hiking safaris in Mgahinga gorilla national park, Kisoro tours Uganda offers mountain hiking and climbing in Mgahinga which includes Mount Gahinga volcano (3,474 meters), mount Muhavura volcano (4,127 meters), mount Sabinyo volcano (3,669 meters), you can any of the above volcano before or after gorilla trekking, golden monkey trekking.

5. Fly into Kigali and trek gorillas in Bwindi forest Uganda helps you to take advantage of direct flights to Kigali Rwanda, I must say that Rwanda has more direct flights from different parts of Europe which helps tourists to save time many stoppers on a long flight.

6. I must say also that accommodation, Lodges, Hotel, and campsites around Bwindi impenetrable forest national park and in Mgahinga gorilla national park in Uganda, it is cheaper and affordable which means when you book your Uganda gorilla trekking safari from Kigali Rwanda, you will not only save $900 on gorilla permit but also save more money on accommodation which is one of the reasons Kisoro tours Uganda will keep recommending its clients to fly into Rwanda at Kigali airport and track gorillas in Uganda as one of the best options to tourists who are planning budget gorilla safari.

Visit Lake Bunyonyi in Kabale, Bunyonyi can be visited before or after gorilla trekking in Bwindi forest or in Mgahinga, this beautiful lake is located in Kabale near the Rwanda border of Katuna, Lake Bunyonyi is the second deepest lake in Africa and the deepest lake in Uganda. Bunyonyi means “many little birds” it is also well known for its fresh waters, good temperatures, the best scenery with 29 Islands. below are some of the main activities on Lake Bunyonyi. For the bird lovers, bird watching on Lake Bunyonyi is one of the main activities in this area; Lake Bunyonyi has over 200 bird species.

Lake Bunyonyi is the only freshwater lake where one can go for swimming, lake Bunyonyi has no Bilharzia and dangerous animals like hippos and crocodiles making lake bunyonyi one of the safest lakes swim in but as you swim you have to keep in mind that Bunyonyi is the second world deepest lake in Africa so we advise you to be a good swimmer if you plan to swim you must be a good experience of swimming. Another way of exploring Lake Bunyonyi is by use of canoe boat cruise, it is the only way to explore 29 Islands.

Another exciting thing you have to add to your List of Advantages of fly into Kigali and trek gorillas in Bwindi forest Uganda is to exploring Lake Mutanda in Kisoro, this is one of the most beautiful lakes in Uganda with amazing scenery Lake Mutanda is good for relaxing before or after gorilla tracking safari in Bwindi forest national park or in Mgahinga gorilla national park, Lake Mutanda is also one of the best around Kisoro area for bird-watching safaris.
