Costs, Permits, and Logistics

Confirm current fees when you book — tariffs are set by national park authorities and can change by season or residency status.

• Queen Elizabeth NP entry is about $40/day; Murchison Falls about $45/day (foreign non-resident rates).
• Road transfers are long — AeroLink flights to Kihihi/Kisoro save a full day on gorilla circuits.
• Gorilla trekking minimum age is 15 in Uganda and Rwanda; chimps in Kibale from age 12.
• Family rooms and private vehicles simplify pacing on mixed-ability itineraries.
