Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a visa to visit Uganda or Rwanda?
Most nationalities require a visa. Uganda and Rwanda both participate in the East Africa Tourist Visa, which also covers Kenya. We recommend checking your country’s requirements with the relevant embassy or applying online in advance, and we’re happy to guide you through the process.
When is the best time to go gorilla trekking?
Gorilla trekking is possible year-round. The driest months (June-September and December-February) offer easier hiking conditions, while the wetter months are quieter and greener.
How fit do I need to be for gorilla trekking?
Treks can range from under an hour to several hours through forest terrain. A reasonable level of fitness helps, and porters are available to assist along the trail.
What vaccinations do I need?
Yellow fever vaccination is typically required for entry into Uganda and Rwanda. We advise consulting a licensed travel health clinic or physician for up-to-date medical guidance before you travel.
