3 Days Bwindi gorilla trekking from Kigali

This 3 Days Bwindi gorilla trekking from Kigali is meant for those people interested in trekking mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park but are staying in Rwanda.

It’s also meant for those that would love to trek Uganda gorillas but want to drive less by flying into Kigali Instead of Entebbe International Airport. 

With this 3 Day Uganda Gorilla safari through Kigali - Rwanda, one gets to drive for only 4-5 hours from Kigali to Bwindi National Park instead of the 8-9 hours from Entebbe International Airport to Bwindi National Park. 

By tracking gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park instead of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, you will be saving USD 800.00 off each person since gorilla permits in Uganda cost US$700 and Rwanda gorilla permits cost US$1,500

Our representative will pick from Kigali Airport or your hotel in Kigali.  Visit the Genocide Memorial Center  in Kigali on your first day of 3 Days Bwindi gorilla trekking from Kigali.

The Kigali Genocide Memorial is the final resting place for more than 250,000 victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. It honors the memory of the more than one million Rwandans killed in 1994 through education and peace-building.

You will be transferred in about 4, 5 hours to the Lodge. You'll sleep in one of their nice self-contained safari cottages. From here you will depart tomorrow for the gorilla tracking!

Note 1: We advise you to arrange an East-Africa visa in advance. This is $100 pp and will allow you to multiple enter both Uganda and Rwanda.
