What you should know about Uganda gorilla trekking
Your entire Uganda Gorilla trekking experience could be messed in a blink of an eye if unhappy with your accommodation facility. You have to watch the standards of lodging facilities that you reserve for your gorilla safari. We have organized a couple of successful Uganda gorilla trekking trips before and we believe we can do the same for you. So how do we do it? We carry your burden by going to lodge by lodge (mid-range lodges and luxury lodges) negotiating their prices and establishing partnerships with them so that we are able to get their accommodation facilities at relatively low discounted rates and in turn offer you the same discounted rates. This is because we mind about your Uganda gorilla safari experience and we don't want simple obstacles ruin your fun as you go trekking with gorillas.
Going on a cheap gorilla safari does not necessarily mean your comfort will suck. So many assume this but it very wrong. If you plan everything the right way and deal with a good operator, you will still enjoy a much more comfortable safari that most of the tourists who opt for mid-range facilities. The budget gorilla trekking experience is so raw and fun, you will definitely feel it.
Cost of Gorilla Trekking in Uganda & Rwanda
Uganda is undoubtedly one of the best destinations for budget gorilla trekking. Permits cost as little as $600 for foreign nationals. The parks also have very many accommodation facilities you can choose from. What often freaks most travelers out is the 9 hour drive from Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This journey can be reduced by use of scheduled flights or making an entourage via Kigali in Rwanda. Uganda apparently harbors over half the remaining population of the endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. When you go trekking with gorillas in Uganda, you will see this.
Since May 2017, Rwanda doubled the prices of its gorilla permits from $750 to $1500. This automatically made Rwanda a luxury gorilla tracking destination. Not so many can afford the $1500 permits fee and majority have resorted to trekking gorillas in Virunga National Park in Congo and Bwindi in Uganda. Good thing with Rwanda is your gorilla safari can even last for a day. This is partly because Volcanoes National Park is just 2 - 3 hours away from Kigali City. Besides the permits, several safari lodges offer equally budget accommodation services and you can take advantage of this.
Choosing the best gorilla safaris in Africa
There has always been a big debate about Uganda gorilla trekking and Rwanda gorilla trekking experiences. So many tourists get confused on where to go trekking with gorillas. These two destinations offer equally good adventures but solely depends on how best you organize your tour. Many prefer Rwanda to Uganda because of the short distance between Kigali and Volcanoes National Park (approximately 3 hours). This is 6 hours shorter than the Kampala - Bwindi distance.
If you have travelling, either go gorilla trekking in Rwanda or arrive from there and trek from Bwindi easily. The drive is approximately 4 hours from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. As for DRC, since Rwanda gorilla permits shot up to $1500 each, many have resorted to affordable mountain gorilla expeditions by gorilla trekking in Congo and Uganda even when they make their entourage via Kigali.
