Uganda and Rwanda share the mountain gorilla story but offer different safari rhythms. Uganda is larger and particularly strong for long wildlife circuits, chimpanzees, the Nile and varied national parks. Rwanda offers short transfers between Kigali, Akagera, Volcanoes National Park and Lake Kivu, making it easy to combine primates and wildlife in fewer days.
Uganda
Gorillas, chimpanzees, rhinos, lions, elephants, the Nile, birding, hiking and broad road-trip variety.
Rwanda
Gorillas, golden monkeys, Akagera wildlife, volcanic scenery, Kigali culture and Lake Kivu.
Combine both
Use Kigali and Entebbe as flexible gateways for a connected primate and wildlife journey.
