The 6-Day Luxury Uganda Gorilla Trek & Rwanda Wildlife Tour features stays at premier lodges like Magashi Camp or Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge, private 4×4 transport, and unique premium activities such as hot-air ballooning, ensuring a sophisticated journey through the wild.
One of the most exclusive features of the 6-Day Luxury Uganda Gorilla Trek & Rwanda Wildlife Tour is the sunrise balloon flight over Akagera.

Akagera is Rwanda’s “Big Five” destination. On your 6-Day Luxury Uganda Gorilla Trek & Rwanda Wildlife Tour, you will search for lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo. The park’s diverse wetlands also provide sightings of giraffes, zebras, and massive pods of hippos.

While the accommodations are luxurious, the trek itself remains a physical adventure. Depending on the movement of the gorillas, the hike on your 6-Day Luxury Uganda Gorilla Trek & Rwanda Wildlife Tour can last 2 to 6 hours. However, we can hire porters to carry your gear and assist you on the steeper sections of the trail.
No, the use of drones is strictly prohibited in Rwanda’s National Parks without prior authorization from the Rwanda Development Board and Civil Aviation Authority. To capture the best memories on your 6-Day Luxury Uganda Gorilla Trek & Rwanda Wildlife Tour, we recommend high-quality cameras with wide-angle lenses for the balloon flight.
