Both offer an hour with a habituated mountain gorilla family. The differences are elsewhere.

Rwanda (Volcanoes National Park)

  • About two to three hours' drive from Kigali, so a gorilla trip can be very short.
  • The permit costs more: US$1,500 per person.
  • Lodges range from comfortable to some of Africa's most exclusive.

Uganda (Bwindi and Mgahinga)

  • A longer journey, by road or by a short scheduled flight.
  • The permit is US$800, with a reported lower rate in the low season.
  • Easy to combine with chimps in Kibale and big game in Queen Elizabeth or Murchison Falls.

Which did you choose, and would you choose it again?
