Kigali to Bwindi gorilla trekking tours and safaris are becoming popular amongst clients that book with Encounter Africa safaris. There so many reasons as to why Kigali to Bwindi gorilla safaris have overtaken all Bwindi gorilla holidays starting and ending in Entebbe. It should be noted that there three countries that have mountain gorillas in the whole world. These countries include Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. Rwanda mountain gorillas are found in Volcanoes National Park, Uganda gorillas are found in Bwindi impenetrable national park and Mgahinga while congo mountain gorillas are located in Virunga National Park. All these national parks are close to each other in what we have termed as the Virunga massive.

One wonders why Kigali to Bwindi gorilla tours are becoming popular instead of tourists either trekking gorillas in Rwanda itself by buying gorilla permits for Volcanoes National Park and or flying into Entebbe International Airport and driving to Bwindi impenetrable National park.

Reasons for Kigali to Bwindi gorilla holidays and trips

The long-distance involved in trying to fly into Entebbe international airport and then drive to Bwindi impenetrable national park is one of the reasons as to why Kigali to Bwindi gorilla trekking safari holidays are now popular. To reduce of avoiding long distances and drive times, tourist now prefers to fly into Kigali international airport and then drive to Bwindi impenetrable national park for gorilla trekking. It is reasonably closer to fly into Kigali then drive to Uganda Rwanda borders of Katuna or Chanika onwards to Bwindi impenetrable National Park.

Another reason that has enabled of favoured Kigali to Bwindi gorilla safari is the affordability of Bwindi gorilla permits compared to Rwanda or volcanoes National Park gorilla permits. Rwanda used to be Africa’s number one spot for gorilla trekking, but when they hiked the price of gorilla permits, the next best option available was Uganda. Instead of paying the high price for gorilla permits in Rwanda, tourist now fly into Rwanda and drive to Uganda to take advantage of the much cheaper gorilla permits for Bwindi impenetrable National Park.

There other reasons that have facilitated Kigali to Bwindi gorilla trekking tours. The East African tourist visa has made cross-border gorilla treks possible and easy. Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania signed an agreement where a tourist can use one tourist visa to visit three East African countries of Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya. With this visa in place, tourists can quickly move to and from each of these countries easily. Initially, it used to be hard because of visa issues.

Compared to Entebbe International Airport, Kigali international airport has of recent overtaken Entebbe when it comes to international flights and connections. It is, therefore, more comfortable to fly to Kigali than Entebbe. Rwanda as a country has a national progress carrier in Rwanda air which offers affordable fares for those flying into Kigali Rwanda. The fact that Bwindi impenetrable National Park is itself much closer to Rwanda, it automatically and logically becomes viable to fly into Kigali and trek Uganda gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
