Rwanda gorilla trekking and wildlife safaris
Rwanda officially became a luxury gorilla safari destination in 2017 when they doubled their gorilla permits fees to cost $1500 each. The trek in Rwanda is much easier compared to other destinations which is partly because of the low elevation in PNV. Rwanda gorillas are the easiest to locate. You only need 2 hours to access Volcanoes National Park by road. This is 7 hours lesser than the 9 hour drive from Entebbe to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park whilst on Uganda safaris. If you can spend that much on permits then we recommend your carry out gorilla trekking from here. Regarding Rwanda wildlife safaris, Akagera National Park is among the few safari parks in Africa with the big five game animals. It is a great place for wildlife viewing encounters.
