Rwanda is another country that is well-known for gorilla trekking, but we personally recommend Uganda over Rwanda due to the fact that Uganda is safer and has much more gorillas. Also, while limited permits are a problem in both countries, Uganda’s larger gorilla population also allows them to hand out more gorilla permits than Rwanda, meaning that if you request a permit in Uganda rather than Rwanda, you are much less likely to have your dreams crushed by having your request denied due to all of their permits being booked up.
