CHOOSING YOUR GORILLA TREKKING DESTINATION

Deciding between Rwanda and Uganda depends on your travel style and preferences. Briggate Travel's expertise will help you choose the perfect destination.

Rwanda: Ideal for shorter trips, Rwanda offers easier access to gorilla families in Volcanoes National Park, a mere two-hour drive from Kigali. With a greater number of habituated gorilla groups, permits are more readily available.
