2-day Uganda gorilla trek from Kigali

A cross-border trip for travellers who land in Kigali and want to trek in Uganda on a short schedule.

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1

Kigali to Bwindi

Your driver-guide meets you at Kigali International Airport or your hotel. Drive north through Musanze, passing views of the volcanoes and Lake Mutanda, to the Cyanika or Gatuna border. After immigration, continue to a lodge in the Bwindi sector nearest the border.

Day 2

Gorilla trek and return to Kigali

After breakfast, join the briefing, trek to your gorilla family and spend one hour with them. Collect your certificate and drive back across the border to Kigali for the night or your flight.

This is a tight schedule. The trek can take from about 30 minutes to most of a day, and the border crossing takes time, so choose a late flight on day two.

Frequently asked questions

Which Bwindi sector is closest to Rwanda?

Rushaga and Nkuringo are the sectors nearest the border. Mgahinga is also close.
