Booking a Luxury Gorilla Safari in Africa
Luxury gorilla trekking includes high-quality services such as comfortable accommodation, excellent meals, reliable transport, and other helpful extras, making the overall experience considerably more enjoyable than a standard gorilla tour.
Picture returning from a day of gorilla trekking to one of East Africa’s finest safari lodges, or using scheduled or private flights to move between destinations with ease. Air-conditioned safari land cruisers are also well suited to this kind of high-end luxury gorilla safari. A luxury holiday with our company typically costs more, but for many travelers planning a luxury gorilla tour, the added comfort is worth the difference.
Uganda offers a strong selection of upscale lodges for luxury gorilla trekking, and Rwanda is home to some of the finest in the region, including Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge and Bisate Lodge, both widely regarded as among the best in Africa.
Luxury Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda
Rwanda offers a genuinely high-end travel experience, and has become known as a premium destination for luxury gorilla safaris since permit prices rose in 2017. At $1,500 per permit, gorilla trekking in Rwanda is considerably more expensive, roughly enough to cover a 3 to 4 day gorilla safari in Uganda with money to spare.
One major advantage of a luxury gorilla trekking trip in Rwanda is the short drive from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park, taking around 2 to 3 hours by road. The country’s well maintained, fully paved road network also makes travel considerably easier, even in poor weather, adding to Rwanda’s appeal as a top luxury gorilla tour destination.
Luxury Gorilla Safaris in Uganda
Few experiences compare to a luxury gorilla trekking trip in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to more than half the world’s remaining mountain gorillas.
In Uganda, the best luxury gorilla safari itineraries often include scheduled or private flights for transfers on arrival and departure days. Driving from Entebbe to Bwindi takes around 9 hours, while flying cuts this down to about 2 hours. For travelers who prefer the road, air-conditioned 4×4 safari vehicles with onboard Wi-Fi can be arranged for added comfort on your luxury gorilla tour.
