Is Uganda or Rwanda better for gorilla trekking?

In short, I usually recommend Rwanda to those looking to splash out, or on limited time. I suggest Uganda is a better choice for the more budget conscious, and if you're looking for a bigger variety of activities before or after a gorilla trek.

Gorilla trekking costs

Gorilla trekking can cost from USD $1,500 per person on the low-end, to $5,000 and above on the luxury end.

The best time to see gorillas

The climate, gorilla trekking conditions, and tourism seasons are more or less the same in both Rwanda and Uganda. Gorilla-trekking is a year-round activity, but I find there are some important considerations when timing your trip.
