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.

• Uganda gorilla permits are $800 per person (UWA); Rwanda Volcanoes permits are $1,500 (RDB).
• Book gorilla permits before lodges — daily quotas are limited in Bwindi, Mgahinga, and Volcanoes.
• Trekking starts with a morning briefing; porters ($15–$20) help on steep forest trails.
• Permits and park fees are fixed; savings usually come from lodge tier, vehicle sharing, and season.
• All-inclusive packages clarify what is bundled versus paid locally (tips, drinks, optional activities).
• Queen Elizabeth NP entry is about $40/day; Murchison Falls about $45/day (foreign non-resident rates).

Sample Itinerary Shape

Most travellers anchor the trip around one flagship experience (gorilla trek, migration, or Big Five loop), then add supporting nights for chimps, boat safaris, or cultural stops. Avoid stacking long drives on the same day as a primate trek.
