Rwanda · GORILLA TREKKING
Two forests are reachable from Kigali and the permit is the price difference: $1,500 for Volcanoes National Park up the northern highway, $800 for Bwindi across the Ugandan border, which is why the longer cross-border trips undercut the one-day Rwandan ones.

He was on point on time, brought me safely to the park, organized everything for me there, and took me to the trekking starting point. Afterwards, he took me to a lunch place and back to Kigali.
