    Gorillas!

    We had a fantastic time on our tour with Ronnie. He took great care of us, and everything was arranged very smoothly. The Gorillas were amazing too! Would highly recommend Frena adventures to anybody

    Great experience

    Frena was a reliable, and good company to work with. There were no hidden charges - they did all the bookings and the properties they booked were good (I booked the moderate package and felt that things were mostly upto standard with that). My guide was Kendrick - he was really helpful, friendly and punctual. As a solo female traveler, safety was my main concern and I felt that Frena and Kendrick did a great job of ensuring that. I did the Bwindi Gorillas tour and the golden monkeys tour at Volcanoes national park. I would suggest doing the monkeys first and then building upto the gorilla experience. My only complaint was that I was given all the details rather last minute and I was quite anxious because of that (this might be just me because of my solo travel needs)- but if you love a hands off approach then this might be a perfect company for you.

    2day golden monkey & gorilla in bwindi

    We booked a 2day golden monkey and Bwindi gorilla trek with Frena adventures - with our driver/guide Farouk. He did well on getting us to our activities on time given that we were always behind schedule. The van was very comfortable - i guess as comfortable as you can get while going through the African massage after you cross the border to Uganda. The four gorillas lodge where we stayed had great staff and amaziiiiing views! Very relaxing before our trek for second day. Farouk our guide provided us with snacks and water, also face mask for our trek. So we didn’t have to buy them. He was very helpful, accommodating and very organised. Thank you we had a great 2day adventure!😊

    2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.

    How much does 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,380 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kigali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kigali is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kigali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kigali and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kigali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kigali?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kigali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include One-day Akagera National Park Game Drive with a Choice 4x4, One Day Akagera Wildlife Safari, Kigali City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kigali?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kigali?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali?

    +

    Included: Bottled drinking water; Lunch; Dinner; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Breakfast. Not included: Alcohol; Laundry; Tips; and Beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is 2 Days Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi through Kigali offered in?

    +
