Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything travellers usually ask before booking this safari.

Why is this itinerary shorter than the Uganda equivalent?

Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park is a much shorter transfer from Kigali than Bwindi is from Entebbe, which trims a day or two of pure travel time off the trip.
