Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Best budget gorilla trekking country?

Direct answer

Uganda is the best budget gorilla destination: 0 permits (0 in April, May, November), guesthouses from –0 per night near Bwindi gates, and 3-day road packages from roughly ,200–,800 per person sharing including permit, transport, and full board. Rwanda's ,500 permit with no standard discount makes it the most expensive option. DR Congo's 0 permit is cheaper but unreliable for budget planners due to access and security risks.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
