There aren’t general age restrictions on travel to Uganda and Rwanda. However, there are some specific age restrictions for certain activities, particularly those involving wildlife:

• Gorilla Trekking: The minimum age for gorilla trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda is 15 years old. This is due to safety concerns around the gorillas’ potential reaction to young children and the need for participants to follow specific instructions during the trek. There may be very rare exceptions for exceptionally mature 14-year-olds in Uganda, but this requires special arrangements.

• Chimpanzee Trekking: Age restrictions for chimpanzee trekking can vary depending on the specific park and regulations. In some cases, the minimum age may be as low as 6 years old, while others may follow the same 15-year-old restriction as gorilla trekking. It’s always best to check with the park authority or tour operator for the specific details.

• Other Activities: Age restrictions may apply to other activities depending on the physical demands or safety considerations. For example, some hikes may have minimum age requirements, while white-water rafting may require participants to be above a certain age or height.
