Since Rwanda is relatively small, you can combine several experiences in one trip.

Uganda is a destination where a safari can mean very different things from one day to the next. You can be watching elephants and lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, walking through the Kibale in search of chimpanzees, enjoying a boat trip in Murchison Falls, or trekking through the forests of Bwindi to meet mountain gorillas. Uganda without a doubt has everything. It is particularly well suited to travelers who want more than a just traditional big game safari, with opportunities to combine wildlife drives with primate trekking, boat trips, forest walks and cultural experiences. This Uganda Safari Travel Guide covers the main destinations, the experiences worth planning around, the best time to visit, permits and practical travel considerations.

Spending an hour watching wild mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is one of those travel experiences that is difficult to explain until you have actually done it. For travellers researching the Best Gorilla Trekking Tours in East Africa, the same question comes up again and again: should you trek in Rwanda or Uganda? At Rwanda Eco Company & Safaris, we arrange gorilla trekking tours in both Rwanda and Uganda. After working with travellers across both destinations, our view is fairly simple: there is no universal “best” country for gorilla trekking. The right choice depends on what kind of trip you are actually trying to have.

If you are planning a gorilla trek in Rwanda, one of the first practical questions to answer is whether everyone in your group is old enough to go. The Gorilla Trekking Age Limit in Rwanda is 15 years. Anyone younger than 15 is not permitted to take part in gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. There is, however, no general maximum age, so you can be 60, 70 or older and still go gorilla trekking, provided you are physically able to manage the walk. This is one of those rules that is worth knowing before you start planning your itinerary, especially if you are travelling as a family.
