Trekking Uganda gorillas in Bwindi forest from Kigali Rwanda

October 29, 2019
Trekking Uganda gorillas in Bwindi forest from Kigali Rwanda

Trekking Uganda gorillas in Bwindi forest from Kigali Rwanda, yes it is now possible to fly to Kigali international Airport and go gorilla trekking in Uganda, it is now very popular for many tourist flying into Kigali Rwanda and trek mountain gorillas in Bwindi forest, it is very easy to fly into Kigali and cross to Bwindi impenetrable forest national park for gorilla trekking in Uganda.

Why fly into Kigali Rwanda and trek Uganda gorillas in Bwindi forest

Trekking Uganda gorillas in Bwindi forest from Kigali Rwanda, this will help to save you on the long drive from Entebbe international airport or from Kampala to Bwindi forest or to Mgahinga gorilla national park where gorilla trekking is done in Uganda.

For many years Rwanda has been a stop center for mountain gorilla trekking simply just because of the easy access of Volcanoes national park where Rwanda gorilla trekking is done, it is just 2 hours’ drive from Kigali international airport to the park headquarters in Kinigi.

However, in May 2017 Rwanda doubled its gorilla permit price from $750 to 1500 which did not go well in the ears of many tourists more especially budget and mid-range travelers instead it created more attention for Uganda gorilla trekking. Because of the short distance from Kigali to Volcanoes national park Rwanda’s home to mountain gorillas, many people think the short distance could be the reason why Rwanda increased its gorilla permit price.

Cheaper gorilla trekking in Bwindi forest from Kigali Rwanda

Besides Rwanda’s expensive gorilla permit you can still go for most affordable gorilla safaris in Uganda, looking cheaper and more affordable, it’s now possible at Kisoro tours Uganda we now offer short gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda through Kigali Rwanda, this is the easiest way to access Bwindi forest and Mgahinga gorilla national park.

On your arrival at Kigali international airport in Rwanda, you will find our tour guide/driver waiting for you and ready to transfer you Uganda’s Bwindi impenetrable forest national park or in Mgahinga gorilla national park depending on which park you are trekking in, both parks are located in southwestern Uganda in the districts of Kisoro and Kabale bordering with Rwanda.

The reason why Trekking Uganda gorillas in Bwindi forest from Kigali Rwanda

Flying to Kigali international airport and trek gorillas in Uganda has not only become a doorway to Bwindi forest and Mgahinga national park but it also the only way to save money on gorilla permit and also save on long driving distance from Entebbe international airport, why you trek gorillas in Uganda instead of Rwanda it means that you will be saving $900 on each permit because currently Rwanda gorilla permit costs $1500 per person while in Uganda gorilla permit costs only $600 per person and I must say that gorilla trekking experience is the same no matter where you do it from Uganda or Rwanda.

The drive from Kigali Rwanda takes about 3 to 4 hours’ to cross the border and reach Bwindi forest which is the home to more than half of the world mountain gorillas population over 70% of mountain gorillas live in Bwindi forest, from Kigali to Bwindi forest you either cross via Chanika border in Kisoro district or via Katuna Border in Kabale district, either way, you will still reach Bwindi within 3 to 4 hours’ drive from Kigali.

Uganda gorilla trekking safari via Kigali Rwanda it is highly recommended because it is a saving opportunity for many budget tourists and other visitor traveling on a low budget but wants trek gorillas, Uganda gorilla tracking tour is almost three times cheaper/less than in Rwanda.

For example, Rwanda gorilla permit cost $1500, but this money if take it to Uganda it is enough for you to go for 3 days Uganda gorilla trekking tour which includes one gorilla permit per person, all airport transfers, all transport to Bwindi forest, and back, 2 nights’ accommodation and all meals, so if compared this is far cheaper gorilla safari, that’s why Kisoro tours Uganda always recommends its low-cost clients to book their gorilla trips in Uganda instead of Rwanda just because of gorilla permit price differences.

Kisoro tours Uganda also 2 days gorilla trekking in Uganda from Kigali Rwanda at $1300 per person, it includes one-night accommodation and all meals, transport from Kigali and back, on this 2 days Uganda gorilla trek from Kigali will pick on day one from Kigali and transfer you to Bwindi impenetrable forest national park or to Mgahinga gorilla national park, on day two after gorilla trekking we will transfer you back to Kigali

Use East African Tourists Visa to go for a gorilla trek in Uganda

When going for Uganda gorilla trekking via Kigali Rwanda we recommend that you use an East African tourist visa which allows you multiple entries to Uganda and Rwanda or other countries that are in a member of the East African community, this East African tourist visa is varied for only 3 months (90 days) in case you want to extend East African tourist visa you have to exit to another country which is not a member of the East African community and apply again, what is the price of East African tourist visa, it costs only $100 per person.

East African tourist visa can issue at all border entry points and airports, this visa can be easily given to you on your  arrival at the airport and at all entry point, you only to have your cash ready to purchase an East African tourist visa
