    10/10

    This was a beautiful and rewarding experience. Yves was a fantastic guide who added information and camaraderie beautifully. I always knew what was happening next and felt like I was heaven great white glove service. This was a wonderful way of experience a land, a landscape and a culture.

    Voyage to the Furry Lords of the Forest

    What a fabulous adventure! Faustin is a superb guide, very calm, measured and thoughtful. He provided excellent insights into the history of the people and wildlife of Rwanda, so I recommend you book him. The driving was long and bumpy and enjoyable. Accommodation was very comfortable, and both lakes were beautiful and good to swim in. The highlight of the trip was witnessing gorillas in their natural habitat-- a wonderful experience. The chimpanzees were swift and shy and I didn't see a damned one of them, so I recommend you trail the larger primates.

    Five Perfect Days in Rwanda

    We recently spent five days in Rwanda with Rwanda Eco Company and Safaris, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. I began planning the trip six months in advance, arranging gorilla trekking, a golden monkey tour, a Kigali city tour with the genocide memorial, and several other highlights. Their communication was outstanding throughout the entire process, and once we arrived in Kigali, every detail unfolded exactly as planned. Our driver, Kevin, was consistently punctual, warm, and professional. The meals were excellent, and the accommodations were truly luxurious. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Reginal, who is genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll ever encounter. If you’re searching for a tour company in Rwanda, I can’t recommend Rwanda Eco Company and Safaris highly enough.

    Rwanda forever ♥️

    I contacted the company through WhatsApp and Mr. Reginal promptly replied to my inquiries. I usually contact at least three different companies and compare prices but I didn’t this time. I think it was meant to be. I booked for 6 days in Rwanda. After I booked my activities the Ebola outbreak news came out. I contacted Mr. Reginal multiple times because I was worried about the Ebola outbreak but he assured me we would be ok. Once we arrived to Kigali, Kevin our driver/guide picked us up from the airport and welcomed us to Rwanda. Words can’t describe how amazing Kevin was during our stay at Rwanda. He made us wake up so early for the game drive! It was so worth it. We saw all the animals. He spotted them from miles away. He drove us all Rwanda safely. Thank you Mr. Reginal and Kevin!

    Experience of a lifetime!!

    Amazing trip with our guide Tony!! From pickup at the airport to drop off back in Kigali everything was amazing!! Tony was very funny and attentive to all our needs! The gorilla trek was even better than we could have imagined. The hike was very hard, up to 10K feet. But there are easier gorilla families to visit. Highly recommend doing this if you have the budget!

    Response from the operator: Dear Cole, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience with us, from the airport pickup all the way to your return to Kigali. Tony will be very happy to know that his humor and attentiveness made your trip even more memorable! We're also glad that the gorilla trek exceeded your expectations! While the hike can be challenging, it's definitely worth it for the unforgettable experience of seeing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the trek, and we appreciate your advice for future travelers about the various trekking options available. Thank you again for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

    2 days Uganda Gorilla trekking: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 2 days Uganda Gorilla trekking cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,750 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 Uganda Gorilla trekking 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 Uganda Gorilla trekking worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 days Uganda Gorilla trekking?

    +

    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 Uganda Gorilla trekking 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 Uganda Gorilla trekking?

    +

    Around 7 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 Uganda Gorilla trekking 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 Uganda Gorilla trekking?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Gorilla permit : 700 USD per person; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Expenses of personal nature like Air fare, Visa, drinks, laundry. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 days Uganda Gorilla trekking include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 27 listed pickup locations in and around Kigali. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 days Uganda Gorilla trekking?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 2 days Uganda Gorilla trekking wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 2 days Uganda Gorilla trekking if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Kigali. Standard cancellation terms apply.
