Why book Ruhija gorilla trekking tours from Kigali Rwanda to Bwindi

We can confirm that there two nations where trekking mountain gorillas in their natural habitats are safe. These two countries are Uganda and Rwanda. Rwanda gorillas can be trekked in Volcanoes National Park, while those of Uganda can be done in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park. The reason we encourage our clients to book Ruhija gorilla trekking tours from Kigali Rwanda is that Ruhija region is in the eastern part of Bwindi impenetrable National Park in southwestern Uganda is much closer to Kigali international Airport than it is with Entebbe international Airport. Through Katuna or Chanika border, it takes 4-5 hours to Ruhija compared to 9-10 hours from Entebbe International Airport. While in Ruhija, you will be allocated one of the three habituated mountain gorilla families of Butukura, Kyaguriro and Oruzogo.

The second reason we encourage people to book our Ruhija gorilla trekking tours from Kigali Rwanda to Bwindi is that Uganda as a gorilla trekking destination is much more affordable compared to Rwanda. While Rwanda used to be the leading gorilla trekking country in Africa, the high price of gorilla permits and accommodation has chased away people leaving Uganda as the only safe option for gorilla trekking in Africa. Congo is the third option but because of insecurity in that part of the country, Encounter Africa safaris has suspended its operation until further notice. Ruhija being one of the four regions of Bwindi impenetrable National Park closer to Rwanda, it becomes simpler for cross border gorilla treks to take place.

Accessing Rushija through Kigali International Airport is cheaper and convenient. There more flights coming through Kigali International Airport than they are for Entebbe International Airport. Rwanda Air which is a national Carrier offers discounts on airfares making it cheaper to fly into Kigali and trekking ruhija mountain gorillas in Uganda. The East Africa tourist visa is also making the crossing and visiting three countries of Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya easier.
