Choosing Uganda Gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking safaris via Kigali-Rwanda is not only about practicality but also about experiencing the seamless connectivity of Kigali International Airport, offering direct flights from Europe and superior flight connections compared to Entebbe International Airport in Uganda. Despite Rwanda being perceived as a relatively more expensive tourist destination, the allure of flying into Kigali-Rwanda lies in the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the picturesque and pristine city of Kigali. Depending on the arrival time, travelers may even opt to spend a night for a city tour before crossing into Uganda for the thrilling Gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking safari, where services and Gorilla permits are more budget-friendly.
Uganda stands as one of the premier destinations for trekking the habituated mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzee communities. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks, located in the southwestern part of the country, are home to almost half of the world’s Gorilla population, particularly in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, boasting the highest number of habituated mountain Gorilla families. The allure of Uganda for Gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking via Kigali-Rwanda is undeniable.
Uganda offers unparalleled quality in Chimpanzee tracking experiences, and the prime location for this adventure is Kibale Forest National Park. Voted repeatedly as the best place to encounter habituated Chimpanzee communities in Africa, Kibale Forest National Park promises not only memorable Chimpanzee treks but also opportunities to witness various primate species and a plethora of bird species during your Chimpanzee trek.
A significant factor influencing the choice of Uganda Gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking safaris via Kigali-Rwanda is the notable difference in Gorilla permit prices between Rwanda and Uganda. The Rwanda Gorilla permit is nearly triple the cost of its Ugandan counterpart, making our safari packages an attractive option for travelers who are price-sensitive while seeking a comparable primate safari experience.
Travelers also appreciate the convenience offered by the East African tourist Visa, allowing them to explore three East African countries—Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya—with a single Visa.
