Add-On Options to Consider adding to your 5 Days Budget Uganda  Gorilla and chimpanzee Trekking Safari.


Instead of the usual 01-hour gorilla viewing time. You could opt to go for the full-day Gorilla Habituation Experience which allows you 4-hours with wild mountain gorillas in the Rushaga area of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. If you choose Gorilla habituation, then there will be an extra charge for the permits and accommodation – Gorilla habituation permits cost US$1500 each. This, however, changes the itinerary since gorilla habituation is only done in the Rushaga area of southern Bwindi. Read more “Gorilla Habituation Experience in Uganda”.

Forego long drive times from Entebbe or Kampala and fly into Kigali – Rwanda where it is just a 5-hours drive to the Rushaga area of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Versus the long 09+-hour drive from Entebbe, Uganda.

You can extend your 5 Days Budget Uganda  Gorilla and chimpanzee Trekking Safari to 09 Days Uganda Gorilla & Wildlife Safari with Gorilla Trekking, Chimpanzee Tracking, wildlife game drives, and a boat Safari all at an affordable price.

If you would like any amendments made to your 5 Days Uganda  Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking Safari above to include gorilla habituation experience in Uganda or would prefer flying in through Kigali to trek gorillas in Uganda, please let us know.

Remember all our gorilla and wildlife safari experiences are small group holidays (admitting 02 – 06 persons in a group), and can be customized to suit your interests – thank you for choosing Realm Africa Safaris™.


IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

**Treat all the above information as a guide – we will make necessary adjustments depending on gorilla permits, and accommodation available at the time of booking this tour. Of course, we will inform you before making any adjustments to your itinerary.
