A Gorilla Trek in Uganda and Golden Monkey Trek in Rwanda is one of the most sought-after primate safari combinations in East Africa. This unique cross-border experience offers travelers the rare opportunity to encounter two of Africa’s most fascinating primates in their natural habitats, while exploring the beauty of both Uganda and Rwanda in a single journey.
With the rising demand for gorilla trekking in Uganda, many travelers today prefer to arrive via Kigali. This is because the drive from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is much shorter—approximately 3 to 5 hours—compared to the longer journey from Entebbe. This convenient access has made cross-border primate safaris more popular than ever.
Taking advantage of this proximity, many visitors begin their adventure in Rwanda with a golden monkey trek in Volcanoes National Park, before crossing into Uganda for the ultimate gorilla trekking experience. Another key factor is the difference in permit costs, with Uganda offering a more affordable gorilla trekking permit compared to Rwanda, making it an attractive option for many travelers.
At One More Adventure Safaris, we specialize in organizing seamless itineraries that combine these two incredible experiences. You will trek mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, renowned for its dense rainforest and rich biodiversity, and then enjoy a golden monkey trekking adventure in Volcanoes National Park, home to the endangered and playful golden monkeys.
