The Best Price for Gorilla trekking revolves around three (03) major aspects; Price Of a gorilla Permit, price of a accommodation, and the cost of transportation to your assigned gorilla trekking location. During your planning sessions, you will need to get everything about these three aspects mentioned correct in order to save or enjoy an affordable gorilla Trekking Holiday.
Price of a Gorilla Permit:
Choose a place where gorilla permits are affordable for you. For instance, Rwanda charges $1,500 per person/permit, and Uganda charges $700 per person/permit. Look into your budget and decide if you want to Rwanda or Uganda.
Price of accommodation:
Rwanda has positioned itself as a Premium/luxury gorilla trekking destination in Africa. Their target is to lure rich travelers who can afford a budget of about $320 per night to stay at a midrange accommodation. With a higher budget of $15,000 onwards, one can get to stay at affluent lodges like One&only’s Gorilla Nest Lodge located at the foothills of the prestigious Volcanoes National Park, Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge situated even closer to the “Furry Brothers of Man” – the mountain gorillas, or Singita’s luxurious Kwitonda Lodge & Kataza Exclusive House.
Uganda on the other hand offers a variety of affordable options ranging from budget (approx. $70 – $100 per night), Midrange ($120 – $350 per night), and luxury for a fair price of about $450 onwards.
Cost of transportation:
You might meet up (both en route or at the gorilla briefing points) with all sorts of vehicles including two-wheel drives, motorcycles, etc. We use/recommend taking only 4×4 vehicles. We have a preference for Toyota Landcruisers for they have not let us down. These vehicles are reliable and a lot more comfortable (of course not as comfortable as your S-class Mercedez Benz) but will most importantly get you through to un-imaginable places. Hiring a Landrcuiser costs about $200 per day with fuel and allowances for a private local English-speaking driver/guide.
