Home FAQ Cost & budget

Are Tanzania safaris more expensive than Rwanda?

Direct answer

For wildlife viewing, yes—Rwanda has no savanna parks; Akagera National Park entry is 0/day versus Tanzania's multi-park circuit at –.60/day. Rwanda's ,500 gorilla permit makes primate-focused trips far pricier. Many travellers combine a 7-day Tanzania safari (,800–,500) with a 2-day Rwanda gorilla trek (,500 permit plus 0–,500/night lodges).

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.
