10 day Classical Uganda & Rwanda

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

A ten day safari from Entebbe, visiting the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda (Bwindi Impenetrable Forest) or Rwanda, plus Chimpanzee trekking at both Kibale Forest & Chamburu Gorge in QENP, Ngamba Chimpanzee Sanctuary, game viewing and a boat cruise in the Queen Elizabeth National Park – ideal for bird watching and game!

Important information regarding gorilla permits:  Uganda - Permits to view gorillas in Uganda are in high demand, with currently two family groups with 12 people per day being allowed to view at Bwindi, with an additional four permits temporarily available at Bwindi to view a third family, and 6 at Mgahinga. Rwanda - there are four family groups for trekking in Rwanda, with a total of 30 permits per day being available. In all cases the Gorilla Permit will be pre-booked and prepaid prior to final confirmation of the safari - safaris are thus dependent on availability of permits. This tour price excludes your permit for Gorilla Trekking. 

Highlights

From Entebbe, you visit the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda (Bwindi Impenetrable Forest) or Rwanda, Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale forest and Chamburu Gorge as well as game viewing and bird watching.
