Why Booking Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable NP Gorilla Trekking?

Pretty easier and good if this Gorilla Safari starts from Kigali so that you can save money, time and effort especially when you are going to visit mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Having this short distance, It is true that connecting to Bwindi Impenetrable NP from Kigali get much easier for many travelers than from Entebbe or Kampala whenever it comes to Gorilla trekking.

With the shorter distance between Kigali and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, it is also possible to have a return journey back to Rwanda after your Bwindi Gorilla trekking. This is because the drive time from Entebbe International Airport to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is about 8 hours while the distance from Rwanda is around 4 to 5 hours by road.

    I originally booked Nyiragongo, but it was closed, so I changed my destination to gorilla trekking in Bwindi. I had arranged for gorilla trekking in Vilcanoes National Park in Rwanda to be done by another tour company, and when it finished at Musanze, this tour company picked me up in the evening, crossed the border into Uganda, and moved to a lodge near the national park for the night. The next morning I participated in gorilla trekking. I left in the afternoon and was transported across the border to Kigali in Rwanda. Overall, the trip went smoothly and I was very satisfied. We had an hour to observe the gorilla family, and we were able to get a good look at the baby and the boss up close. This time, I went on gorilla trekking in both Rwanda and Uganda, and both were good, but I thought Uganda was more reasonable in terms of price. The roads in Uganda are quite rough off-road, so if you have some spare energy, I think Uganda is a good choice for a reasonable price, and if you want something closer, gorilla trekking in Rwanda is a good choice.
