Transfer from Kigali, Rwanda to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda

Pick up at Kigali Airport or downtown Kigali. Before driving to Uganda, there is a visit to Kigali Genocide Memorial and Museum. The Kigali Genocide Memorial is a significant and poignant place to visit in Kigali, Rwanda. It commemorates the lives lost during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and serves as a place for education, reflection, and reconciliation.
The scenic drive to Uganda will go through Rwanda’s northwestern town of Ruhengeri, the gateway to Volcanoes National Park, another popular spot for mountain gorilla tracking. We will then circle around the mountains to cross over into Uganda via the Cyanika border posts and stay near Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Spend the afternoon as you wish and choose from our array of optional activities such as hiking through the luscious hills or visiting the local Batwa community.
