Best Place to see Gorillas in 2024 -2026: Uganda or Rwanda?
Both Rwanda and Uganda are safe places for gorilla trekking in 2024 – 2025 & beyond. However, each of them has an advantage over the other. we will explain and let you choose where is best to go gorilla trekking for you in 2024 – 2025.
The most prominent advantage Uganda has over Rwanda is the price of gorilla permits. Gorilla permits in Rwanda cost USD1,500 per person to trek and spend 01-hour with a group of habituated mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park while Gorilla Permits in Uganda cost a lot less – $800 per person/permit. This price difference has seen many travelers opt for Uganda except for the luxury travellers who prefer trekking gorillas in Rwanda.
On the other, Rwanda might appeal better to travellers not so bothered by the price of the gorilla Permits in Rwanda – $1,500 but are rather keen to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience staying at very opulent safari lodges like Wilderness Safaris’ Bisate Eco Lodge or the newly opened Kwitonda Lodge by Singita. These sorts of travellers will choose Rwanda as the best place to go gorilla trekking in 2024 -2025.
Besides just enjoying the luxury safari experience Rwanda has to offer, Rwanda combines easily with a Kenya or Tanzania safari as a two- or three-day add-on. There are daily flights in & out of Nairobi and parts of the Serengeti, and it is only a 2.5-hour drive to get to the Volcanoes rainforest for gorilla trekking. For those pressed for time, you can also hire a private helicopter from Kigali.
