Rwanda Uganda Gorilla Safari

Motorbikes 
During this trip you ride on a Haojin 20cc or equivalent motorbike 

Gorilla Trekking
The costs for the Gorilla trekking are not included in the tour price. There are six families in Bwindi National park that can be visited. A maximum of eight people can visit a family at the time. You can stay with the family for a maximum of one hour. Gorillas do not live in a fixed place. And because they move daily, it's hard to say how long the walk will take until you reach them. This can be half an hour or several hours. You walk with a guide through the dense jungle until you reach the gorilla family. Costs for the complete experience are approximately 850 euros per person.

Gorilla and Chimp permits 
Both permits need to be obtained long before departure of the tour. Check with us for details for each tour.

Difficulty and Offroad 
During this trip we do not ride at significant heights. The bad slippery roads (particularly after rain) can make travel heavy, however this will  probably only last a few days. About 60% of the route is on asphalt roads, which are often of remarkably good quality. Most gravel roads are also in decent conditions. For a small part of the trip, we ride on more challenging unpaved roads. The quality of these roads is very different. 

Accommodation 
With a few exceptions, during this trip you will stay in comfortable hotels or tented camps, mostly with breakfast included. 

Climate 
Uganda/Rwanda has two rainy seasons. In spring from March to May and from October to November in autumn. Since this trip is around the equator the average temperature throughout the year is 30 degrees. 

Clothing
Mandatory items include a helmet, motorcycle jacket with protection, gloves, a good strong pair of (motorcycle) trousers with protection or separate knee armour, and sturdy high (mountain) boots. Furthermore,  we recommend bringing a good pair of sunglasses, lip balm and sunscreen as well as a helmet with a visor or a good pair of glasses that also protects against the dust of unpaved roads. 

Insurance 
Motorcycles have a compulsory basis liability insurance which is also valid in Rwanda. Damage to the motorcycle itself cannot be insured. 

Visa 
For most nationalities, there is a visa requirement to enter both Uganda and Rwanda. Uganda visas can be obtained online. If you apply for an east African visa you can enter both Uganda and Rwanda with it.
