Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this safari

Each country offers a unique experience! Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park has shorter treks through bamboo forests with dramatic volcano views. Uganda's Bwindi has longer, more challenging treks through dense rainforest. Trekking in both countries gives you two completely different gorilla encounters and lets you compare the experiences.
