Essential Information for Booking Gorilla Trekking Safari from Uganda-Kenya Border:

1. Safari Conducted by Road:

This tour will be conducted entirely by road, providing you with an adventurous exploration of the Ugandan countryside and an authentic experience of the local lifestyle.

2. Two-Day Drive from Malaba to Bwindi:

For those arriving through the Malaba border, we recommend allocating two extra days to break up the long drives. This ensures you have the best possible experience during your safari. A recommended stop is in Kampala, followed by the continuation of the safari to Kibale Forest for a chimpanzee trekking experience.

3. East African Tourist Visa:

As Kenya and Uganda fall within the East African tourism zone, you won’t need separate visas for each country. Instead, you can obtain an East African Tourist Visa upon arrival in Nairobi, Kenya.

4. Advance Booking of Gorilla Permits:

Due to the limited availability of gorilla permits, it is crucial for travelers planning a gorilla trekking safari from Kenya to book the permits in advance. Trek Africa Expeditions is here to assist you in securing these essential permits.

5. Accommodation Options – Budget, Standard, or Luxury:

Travelers can tailor their Uganda gorilla trekking adventure via Kenya based on their preferences for accommodation. Whether you choose budget, standard, or luxury stay, we will recommend and book lodges that suit your travel style.

6. Flexible Payment Terms (except for permits):

Trek Africa Expeditions offers flexibility in payment terms, allowing clients to make payments closer to the safari date. However, it’s important to note that full payment for gorilla and chimpanzee permits is required, as these are government-regulated and need to be booked in advance.

7. Best Time for Gorilla Trekking in Uganda:

The optimal time to embark on this adventure is typically from July to October, coinciding with the wildebeest migration in Kenya’s Masai Mara. This period offers the perfect blend of witnessing the Mara River crossing and trekking the mountain gorillas in Uganda, with July to October being the dry season – ideal for Gorilla trekking.

Embark on this unforgettable journey from the Malaba border, immersing yourself in the wonders of Gorilla trekking and the unique blend of Uganda’s natural beauty and cultural richness. Trek Africa Expeditions is your trusted companion, ensuring a seamless and enchanting experience.
