Hi All - quick rundown - I want to go from Entebbe by 4WD to Bwindi Forest. I arrive Entebbe 3.20 p.m. so thinking to go straight from there as far as Mbarara and stay the night and go to Lake Mburo NP next day before heading to Kisoro to stay the night. Next day I would like to do the Gorillas trek - possibly two days in a row but this may be out of my budget - do you have to pay the $600 twice? Then I need to go to Kigali. Is it possible to catch a (cheap) bus from Kisoro to Kigali. I am on a fairly strict budget and only have 7 days in Uganda/Rwanda before heading to Ethiopia for two weeks. Thanks in advance for your invaluable help and advice. Cheers. Jill

Permits are at 600usd Travel by bus possible but not reliable. A tour vehicle could cost u 150usd. Regards two days of trekking vits possible but you will have to buy permits for the two separate days. And trekking is not a full day activity. With your low budget. I would advise you book budget lodges of around 150usd
Hi, I am thinking of doing two gorilla treks but am unsure weather to have a day off in between in case we have a long day on the first day. I'm 58, not super fit but not unfit. What would you suggest?
A:
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Looks like I will have a day off in between treks, drink lots of water, hire a porter, and walk a lot before I leave home
