Items to consider on a gorilla safari packing list include waterproof hiking boots, a daypack, a sweater, a first aid kit, a rain jacket, insect repellents, a camera, extra batteries, and many others.
Is gorilla trekking better in Uganda or Rwanda?
Uganda and Rwanda offer amazing mountain gorilla opportunities, but the slight difference usually comes with the cost of the permits. The cost of the permits in Uganda goes at USD 800, and in Rwanda, at USD 1500 per permit. In terms of accessibility, Rwanda’s Volcanoes is only a 2-3-hour drive and is perhaps the reason why it is a preferred destination.
Unlike Uganda’s Bwindi and Mgahinga, which are reachable in about 8-9 hours’ drive from Kampala or 4-5 hours’ drive from Kigali. But visitors also have the option of taking a flight to Kisoro or Kihihi Airstrips and connecting to Bwindi or Mgahinga to enjoy a gorilla trekking tour.
