Question 1

Where to go for Gorilla trekking in Africa?

Accepted Answer

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi National Park is arguably the most popular tourism activity in Uganda. Mountain gorillas can be found in four national parks – the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, Virunga National Park in DR Congo, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, and Bwindi impenetrable forest in Uganda. Uganda hosts half of the remaining mountain gorillas and is the only country where mountain gorillas can be found in two different national parks.

Question 2

Why combine Rwenzori trekking and Mount Kilimanjaro tour?

Accepted Answer

The majestic mountain Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and the snow-capped ranges of Mountain Rwenzori in Uganda offer visitors the best and most memorable mountain hiking experience. It is in East Africa and Uganda in particular that river Nile (the longest river in the world) starts its three months journey to the Mediterranean Sea crossing over 5 countries including South and Northern Sudan, Egypt, and others.

Question 3

Is Rwanda a safe country for tourists?

Accepted Answer

Rwanda is considered one of the safest countries in not only Africa but the world as a whole. Crime is not a big issue for travelers, but one must always use common sense when traveling in any foreign country. Even in large urban centers such as Kigali, there is little concern for safety, and there are many police officers patrolling the streets. Rwanda is a particularly good country to travel to with children, as they are most welcome.

Question 4

How large are the safari groups that I will be traveling with?

Accepted Answer

The size of the specific group will depend on the vehicle assigned. In most cases, the groups are 8 people or less. The larger vehicles, such as the Super Custom Vans, will allow groups of up to 9 people. Gorilla Tracking guidelines do not permit more than 8 persons per group, which also limits the numbers to a manageable amount for most travelers.

Question 5

When is the best time to visit Rwanda?

Accepted Answer

The best time to visit Rwanda is during the drier period from June to September when you have the best chance at spotting the country’s undoubted highlight: the mountain gorilla. The rainy seasons, from March to May and in November, are the optimum times for tracking chimpanzees. It’s also quieter then.
