Stay in stunning lodges, from a lakeside bungalow at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains to a hilltop eco – lodge with spectacular views of Rwanda’s volcanoes.

The vegetation can also be extremely thick in Uganda for gorillas, hence the name Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Slopes are steep and there are no trails, so gorilla trekking in Uganda is not for the faint of heart. So, while comparing gorilla trekking in these countries can be tricky, in terms of ease, at least, Rwanda wins.

Bwindi gorilla safaris also entail the magical gorilla habituation experience which allows you to spend four hours in the company of the endangered gorillas. The 2-3 years gorilla habituation experience costs $1500 allowing visitors to spend 4 hours in the company of the endangered gorillas.

The cost of a gorilla permit in Rwanda goes for US $1500 per person per day while for Uganda goes for US $ 700. The minimum age limit to track gorillas is 15 years old.

The best time to visit Uganda is during its two dry seasons: between December and February, and between June and August, when conditions are particularly good for trekking to see mountain gorillas and chimpanzees.
