East Africa orientation
Adding gorillas: Uganda and Rwanda
Some East Africa trips want to add gorilla trekking, which means Uganda or Rwanda rather than Kenya or Tanzania. This page helps you see where that fits; the specifics live in the relevant guide and in specialist planning.
Gorillas are a different region
Mountain gorilla trekking happens in Uganda and Rwanda, not in the Kenya or Tanzania safari areas. It is a separate, permit-based activity with its own rules, so it usually sits alongside a safari rather than replacing it.
Where it is handled
For Uganda and Rwanda, open their guides; for specialist gorilla planning, Gorilla Planner is the specialist surface. This hub does not sell permits, rank operators, or restate rules.
Verify at source: Permit rules and current conditions through the relevant country guide and official wildlife authority, and specialist context through Gorilla Planner.
Plan the order
Because the gorilla areas are a separate region, adding them adds travel. Weigh that against trip length, as with any multi-country plan.
