Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - Gorilla Trekking safaris
Bwindi National Park in Uganda is renowned for its incredible Gorilla Trekking Safaris. Spanning 331 square kilometers, the park is home to over 459 mountain gorillas, which represents about half of the world’s remaining population of these magnificent creatures. The stunning montane rainforests in this southwestern region provide a perfect habitat for the gorillas.
For those looking to embark on this unforgettable adventure, a gorilla trekking permit costs $800, with daily availability limited based on the families of gorillas that can be trekked. Many tourists fly into Kigali and then make their way into Uganda for these remarkable gorilla tours, taking advantage of Kigali’s status as a major flight hub and Uganda’s appealing wildlife offerings, particularly in Bwindi
At Rent a Car Rwanda, we offer the necessary flexibility to incorporate Uganda safaris featuring gorilla encounters into your itinerary. For these adventures, we suggest renting a 4×4 vehicle, as the roads can be quite difficult, particularly during the rainy season, making a full SUV the ideal choice. You can reserve both a car and a gorilla trekking permit for Bwindi Forest. We will arrange for your gorilla pass in Kampala, ensuring that you receive it when you collect your rental vehicle in Kigali.
