2-Day Uganda Gorilla Trekking Tour from Kigali

Did you know you can track gorillas in Uganda in just two days? This is possible. This 2-day Uganda gorilla safari starts and ends in Kigali.
It is much faster to reach Bwindi Impenetrable National Park from Rwanda than from Entebbe. The drive takes only 4 to 5 hours by road compared to 9 hours from Kampala.
This means you can arrive in Rwanda for your Uganda gorilla tour, transfer to Bwindi, track gorillas, and return to Rwanda all in a short time. Your arrival and departure times should be early to make this work.
