Uganda · GORILLA TRIPS FROM KIGALI
Bwindi’s southern sectors are closer to Kigali than to Entebbe, so a lot of Uganda gorilla trekking is sold as a Rwanda departure. These 4 cover the one and two-day runs across the border, priced, with the visa and transfer arrangements stated.

Review of a one-day Bwindi gorilla trek from Kigali, including timing, permit costs, border crossing, transport, lunch, and practical tips.

Estando ahí te darás cuenta de que el trabajo de esta gente hay que valorarlo. La agencia fue increíblemente amable y eficiente. Gracias por una experiencia única en la vida.”

I had to pay an extra 50 usd for the Batwa tribe visit which was really 5 min down the road from my lodge, and additional 100 usd for the lake cruise which i still paid full even though I only did 1 hour instead on 2 hour cruise.
