How to add a gorilla trek to your Tanzania trip
Adding gorilla trekking to a Tanzania safari is very popular, but it is a proper extension rather than a quick side trip. Here is what it involves.
You will need flights between Tanzania and Uganda or Rwanda, and separate visas for each country, so think of it as its own section of the journey.
Allow at least three to four days: travel time, at least one trekking day and some spare time, because the gorillas do not follow a timetable.
Read our Uganda and Rwanda guides. In short, Rwanda costs more but is very convenient from Kigali, while Uganda is usually cheaper and treks can be longer.
Each country has its own visa rules, and permit availability can affect your dates, so start planning early. We can help with both.
Tell us you want to add gorillas, and we will fit the logistics into your trip realistically rather than cramming them into a tight schedule.
