Visit Uganda and Rwanda combined Experiences

Discover the heart of Africa by visiting Rwanda and Uganda combined. These two neighboring countries offer unforgettable experiences, from mountain gorilla trekking to breathtaking scenery and vibrant cultures. Combining the two destinations lets you enjoy the best of East Africa in one seamless adventure.

Easy Access and Seamless Travel

Traveling between Uganda and Rwanda is simple and convenient. Both countries share open borders and can be explored with a single East Africa Tourist Visa, valid for 90 days. You can fly into Kigali International Airport in Rwanda or Entebbe International Airport in Uganda.
Well-maintained roads connect the main attractions, making it easy to travel from Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park to Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in just a few hours.

Gorilla Trekking in Two Worlds

Few experiences compare to meeting mountain gorillas face to face. Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park and Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest both offer world-class gorilla trekking. Rwanda is known for its shorter drives and luxury lodges, while Uganda offers more diverse wildlife experiences and lush forest trails. Many travelers choose to trek gorillas in one country and continue their journey to explore more national parks in the other.

Wildlife and Nature Beyond Gorillas

Beyond gorillas, Uganda and Rwanda are full of other adventures. In Queen Elizabeth National Park, you can enjoy game drives, spot lions and elephants, and take a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel. In Murchison Falls National Park, see the mighty Nile River plunge through a narrow gorge.

Rwanda’s Akagera National Park brings the Big Five to your itinerary, while Nyungwe Forest offers chimpanzee tracking and the famous canopy walk. Together, these parks showcase Africa’s incredible biodiversity.

Scenic Landscapes and Lakeside Escapes

Both countries are blessed with stunning scenery. In Rwanda, rolling hills stretch across the land, earning it the name “Land of a Thousand Hills.” Relax by Lake Kivu, go on a boat ride, or visit a local coffee plantation.

In Uganda, the peaceful Lake Bunyonyi offers beautiful views and quiet islands, perfect for rest after a safari. Every journey reveals green mountains, deep valleys, and unforgettable sunsets.

Culture and Community Experiences

A visit to Uganda and Rwanda is not only about nature but also about people. Experience warm hospitality and vibrant local life. Visit traditional villages, learn about banana beer brewing, or join a community walk.

In Kigali and Kampala, enjoy modern African cities with art galleries, lively markets, and great local restaurants.

When to Visit

The best time to visit Uganda and Rwanda is during the dry seasons, from June to September and December to February. These months offer the best conditions for gorilla trekking, safaris, and photography.

However, the green season (March to May and October to November) is perfect for travelers who prefer fewer crowds and lush, vibrant landscapes.
