Primate trekking is among the most sought-after adventures in East Africa, and a combined trip between Rwanda and Uganda offers the perfect opportunity to experience the region’s incredible primates. Travelers can enjoy golden monkey trekking in Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda) and gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (Uganda).
For those seeking to go beyond gorillas and golden monkeys, chimpanzee trekking can also be added — in Nyungwe National Park (Rwanda) or Kibale Forest National Park (Uganda), which is considered the best place in the world to see wild chimpanzees in large numbers.
Suggested Trip Duration
A combined golden monkey and gorilla trekking safari usually ranges between 4–6 days, depending on your interests, budget, and flight schedule.
