Planning to visit gorillas from Germany? Gorilla trekking from Germany allows tourists to travel to Uganda and Rwanda for gorilla trekking safaris. No matter which city you live in, like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, or Leipzig, you can still travel and trek gorillas.
Gorilla trekking is one of the best activities to do on a safari in Uganda and Rwanda.
The main airports in Germany that offer flights to Uganda or Rwanda for gorilla trekking are Frankfurt Airport, Munich Airport, Berlin Brandenburg Airport, and Düsseldorf Airport.
EgyptAir, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM, Brussels Airlines, and Emirates offer flights from Germany to Rwanda and Uganda’s gorilla parks.
Visa Arrangements for German Tourists
A passport that is valid for at least six months is required. Getting a tourist visa for a single entry is simple. You also need a valid Yellow Fever certificate to enter Rwanda and Uganda.
If you do not have a Yellow Fever certificate, you must get it before applying for a visa.
You can apply for the visa online or on arrival. A single-entry tourist visa costs 50 USD according to the current immigration rules.
Best Time for German Tourists to Trek Gorillas
The best time for gorilla trekking is during the two dry seasons, from December to February and from June to August. These are the best months to visit mountain gorillas.
February and March, which are the end of the dry season, and September to early October, when animals gather near water sources, are also good months to visit wildlife in the Savannah parks.
