Are Rwanda safaris cheaper than Kenya?

Direct answer

No — Rwanda safaris cost more overall for comparable quality. Kenya mid-range savanna safaris run USD 300–600 per day across many parks; Rwanda's Akagera charges USD 100/day entry but limited lodge inventory pushes packages to USD 800–1,500 per day. Rwanda's USD 1,500 gorilla permit far exceeds any Kenya park fee. Kenya suits budget Big Five safaris; Rwanda suits short luxury primate circuits.

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.
