2 Days Uganda Gorilla Trekking Safari with Guide

About this activity

The 2-Day Uganda Gorilla Trekking Safari - Starting from Kigali is one of the shortest gorilla trekking tours, perfect for travelers seeking a quicker route to experience gorilla trekking in Uganda. This tour is ideal for those looking to begin their journey in Kigali and trek in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Unlike longer Uganda Gorilla Safaris, this 2-Day Gorilla Trekking Uganda adventure begins and ends in Kigali, Rwanda, with a short 4-5 hour drive. The route includes crossing the border from Katuna to Kabale or from Chanika to Kisoro, eventually connecting to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a lush and protected forest area in Southwestern Uganda.
