How much will a gorilla trekking safari cost?
“Gorilla trekking doesn’t come cheap. The price in Uganda is currently US$700. In Rwanda the price is US$1500 and in the DRC it is a bargain at US$400. This is only the fee for the activity and doesn’t factor in a lot of other costs involved in a safari package. The experience in all three countries is very similar. You can stay one hour with a gorilla troop after you have reached their location. The tour group size is limited to eight people. A new activity offered in Bwindi (Uganda) only is the gorilla habituation experience where you’ll track a semi-habituated troop in a limited group of four travelers. Instead of the one-hour time limit given for the ‘normal’ gorilla trekking, you’ll be able to stay for four hours. Viewing is less easy as these gorillas aren’t fully habituated yet and prefer to keep their distance. The price for this special activity is US$1500. ”
