This 1 day Uganda gorilla trekking safari starts from Kigali one of Africa’s cleanest cities in Rwanda– the land of a thousand hills covered with green tropical and montane vegetation of more than 200 tree species and home to more than 250 bird species. The 3 hours requires you to have slept over in Kigali or a very morning arrival to allow you catch up with the trek.

Our guide will pick you from your hotel/ airport and get you to either Mgahinga or Bwindi impenetrable national parks that are home to the world’s highest population of mountain gorillas almost more than half (50% of 1063 individuals) of them are found in these parks. This high mountain gorilla population guarantees you up to 100% chances to come across these gentle giants.
