Both locations offer incredible gorilla tracking opportunities, with Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda being about a 2-3 hour drive from Kigali, while Bwindi in Uganda is approximately 8-9 hours by road from Entebbe, or a shorter flight to Kisoro. Your guide will ensure you are well-prepared for your adventure.
