Where This Fits in a Uganda Itinerary
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in south-western Uganda is the main gorilla trekking destination, with separate sectors including Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga and Nkuringo. Travellers often use free time around a trek for forest walks, birding and community visits.
Ruhija suits travellers who stay in the cooler eastern sector and want a non-gorilla activity. Whatever you choose, build days around travel time: driving distances between the parks are long, and early starts are normal on a Uganda safari. If you are comparing destinations, start with Uganda's national parks and our Uganda safaris and tours.
