For the value of money, many of the visitors to east Africa always mix gorilla trekking with a wildlife safari before or after the trek. Rwanda Safari Prices include the one-day gorilla trek in Rwanda from around $1,700 per person. A two-day gorilla tour will start from £1,900. A three-day luxury gorilla safari may cost $2,000 to $5,000 per person. Tours include one gorilla tracking permit, private transport, an English-speaking guide, accommodation, and meals.
Booking the gorilla permits by yourself is so possible as well as traveling using public means though there are many drawbacks to put in mind. By doing this, you will end up incurring more costs, this includes when you miss your bus or in case it breaks down, and you might end up missing your gorilla trek. These gorilla permits are non-refundable and this means that in case you reach late, you will have missed your adventure slot. Therefore. Many of the visitors travel on a planned group tour or book their own driver and vehicle and mostly through a Rwanda safari company or tour operator.
The other danger to avoid when organizing a gorilla trek by yourself in Rwanda is booking the accommodation facility that is far away from the gorilla family you are to trek. You will also be required to wake up so early so that you reach the park headquarters on time. The gorilla families in Rwanda have all spread seven hours apart.
The average mid-range three-day gorilla tour also costs $2000 and this depends on the number of people in your group. The best way of selling the gorillas is by traveling on the arranged over-landing safari during the low season. In case a tour is advertised to involve gorilla trekking, then the cost of the permit should be included in the final quote, but you have to read the small motif carefully.
A luxury Rwanda Gorilla Safari might also range from $3,000 to $5,000 per person and might also include a fly-in option as well as five-star accommodation facilities.
