How much does gorilla trekking in Rwanda cost?

Direct answer

Gorilla trekking in Rwanda costs USD 1,500 per permit (RDB, non-refundable) for one hour with a habituated family in Volcanoes National Park. A typical 2-day/1-night trek package totals USD 1,900–3,500 per person sharing mid-range (permit, Musanze lodge, transfers from Kigali) or USD 4,500–8,000+ at Bisate, Singita Kwitonda, or One&Only. Low-season (November–May) permits drop 30% to USD 1,050 when you also book two nights in Akagera or Nyungwe.
