This Personalized and Exclusive Private Gorilla Trek is offered as a Luxury Safari but we can make it moderately priced Safari using mid-range lodges instead of the luxury lodges suggested below. We suggest that you fly into Kigali, Rwanda where we pick you after putting you into one of the many luxury hotels now there before we bring you across the Border. The Alternative is for us to take you from your hotel to Entebbe Airport for a flight to Kisoro. There our Driver-Guide meets you and takes you to one of the lodges suggested below.
Day 1 –- Drive to Rushaga – Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda:
We leave your hotel in Kigali or meet you at the airport for your Personalized and Exclusive Private Gorilla Trekking Safari in Rushaga. The drive time is about 4 hours depending on Border Crossing which is a cultural event in itself.
We arrive in the Southern area of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and check into the upmarket or luxury safari of choice. There is a difference in price when you consider staying at the exclusive Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge where the cost per night is well above a thousand dollars per night. While Gorilla Safari Lodge is 9 less than half the price. The choice is yours.

Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge – Exclusive Luxury:
Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is one of Uganda’s finest lodges for the discriminating African Traveler. It is a place that is more than Comfort, but luxurious Comfort plus.
Gorilla Safari Lodge – Upmarket:
Gorilla Safari Lodge is a comfortable upmarket lodge near the Rushaga Trailhead for Gorilla Trekking and the Gorilla Habituation Experience.
Many of our clients like this lodge, its cottages with Fireplaces and a hot water bottle at bedtime.
This is a Ugandan owned lodge that has done a reasonable job serving the upmarket guests that come here. There is a Family Cottage that sleeps 4.
The food is tastefully prepared by trained staff and vegetarians and vegans can easily be accommodated.
The primary advantage of this lodge is the fact that it is close to the trailhead where Gorilla Trekking starts in Rushaga.
This is the only upmarket lodge in the Rushaga area itself.
Mount Gahinga Lodge – Mgahinga Gorilla Park:
This is the ideal Luxury Lodge for a private Gorilla Trek in Mgahinga Gorilla Park. It is not suited for the Gorilla Habituaton Experience in Bwindi Forest since the Drive time is too long.
The lodge since at the feet of the brooding Virunga Volcanoes, it is the only luxury lodge choice there. The setting is quiet, the rooms are done with a touch of subdued elegance and the service is world-class.
The gorilla Trekking in the park replicates the Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda since it is done on the other side of some of the same Volcanoes that are in Rwanda.
The Lodge is a mere 3 hours from Kigali airport yet you save a bundle of money on a private trek that in Rwanda would cost you 15,000 USD.
