Rwanda & Uganda Great Apes Grand Tour
Two countries, two mountain gorilla populations, one seamless fourteen-day journey. After the full Rwanda luxury circuit and a trek in Volcanoes National Park, cross privately into Uganda for a second trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest — genuinely different terrain, a genuinely different gorilla family — before winding down on Lake Bunyonyi.

About This Rwanda Tour Package
The Rwanda & Uganda Great Apes Grand Tour is a 14-day, 13-night Rwanda tour package from $60,000 per person, part of our Luxe tier. Two countries, two mountain gorilla populations, one seamless fourteen-day journey. After the full Rwanda luxury circuit and a trek in Volcanoes National Park, cross privately into Uganda for a second trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest — genuinely different terrain, a genuinely different gorilla family — before winding down on Lake Bunyonyi.
Day by day, this Rwanda safari package unfolds as follows. On Days 1-6, akagera, Nyungwe, Lake Kivu, and a mountain gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park, staying at luxury lodges. On Day 7, private cross-border transfer to Bwindi, Uganda. On Days 8-9, a second gorilla trek, tracking a different population. On Days 10-11, game drives and a boat cruise. On Days 12-13, relaxation at a luxury lodge. On Day 14, departure via Entebbe or return to Kigali.
Like every Rwanda tour package on this site, the Rwanda & Uganda Great Apes Grand Tour is priced per person and includes rwanda + Uganda gorilla permits, cross-border transfers & visa assistance, private vehicle & driver-guide in both countries, 13 nights luxury lodges, full board, and private chef, with no hidden fees added after booking. A 60% deposit ($36,000) confirms your dates and secures permits and accommodation, with the remaining 40% due 20 days before travel. This itinerary is designed for Private tour, any group size, and like all of our Rwanda safari packages it can be adjusted further — extra days, a different lodge category, or combined with another itinerary — to fit exactly what you have in mind.
