Gorilla Trekking
Trek mountain gorillas in Bwindi, Mgahinga or Volcanoes National Park. Compare Uganda and Rwanda permits, fitness, best time and gorilla tours.
Safari Experiences in East Africa
Sit with mountain gorillas, follow chimpanzees through the rainforest, watch the Great Migration and end on a white-sand beach. Choose the experiences that excite you, and we will build a private safari around them.
Safari Experiences: Fees and Official Information
Entry fees, permit prices and park rules for safari experiences are set by the Uganda Wildlife Authority and Rwanda Development Board (Visit Rwanda). Because rates change from time to time, we always confirm the latest fees when you book and show them clearly in your quote.
