Cheapest way to see mountain gorillas

Visiting mountain gorillas of Uganda in April.

Cheapest way to see mountain gorillas

Mountain gorillas are limited to Rwanda, Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo in the whole world with Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo offering the most affordable gorilla trekking permits. A gorilla permit in Uganda costs $700 per head and $450 in the Democratic Republic of Congo per head. A gorilla permit enables you to trek gorillas in their habitat.

In Uganda, the most affordable season to trek gorillas in Uganda is the wet season. The season does not have a lot of tourists therefore even accommodation facilities offer discounts. The ratio of guides to the trekkers is also small so it is easy to interact with the guides and learn about the gorillas extensively.

Another area to cut costs is through booking midrange or budget accommodation facilities. The Bwindi impenetrable has four sectors with accommodation activities namely; Nkuringo, Ruhija, Rushaga and Buhoma. Buhoma has the most luxurious accommodation facilities therefore booking facilities elsewhere would help you save some costs.

Furthermore costs can be reduced through booking a short gorilla trekking package that runs for about 3 days in Bwindi impenetrable forest or 2 days in Mgahinga national park. The other options are a 2 day gorilla safari from Kigali Rwanda to Bwindi impenetrable or 3 days from Bwindi to Kigali. All these packages are possible with Wild Epic Safaris.

You can also cut costs through choosing moderate means of transportation from the Entebbe international airport to either Bwindi impenetrable forest national park or Mgahinga national park instead. The cheaper option is travelling by road instead of air.

Above all choosing a safari company that will offer the most affordable rates and also provide discounts is the best option and when one establishes a good professional relationship with Wild Epic Safaris, we will ensure to get you the best services and experience within your budget.
