The East African country of Uganda, one of the few places on earth to view the rare mountain gorilla has decided to keep permit prices at US $600 per person for 2018 / 2019.

Rwanda, which offers easier gorilla viewing (easier treks) recently decided to increase gorilla viewing permits from US $750 per person to US $1,500 per person for 1 hour with a habituated group of gorillas.

For those of you interested in trekking to view mountain gorillas in East Africa it is an INCREDIBLE BUCKET LIST EXPERIENCE! Truly amazing… as permits are limited they are often completely booked more than 9 months to 1 year in advance…

If you wish to spend more time with the gorillas let us know… we can set you up with the actual people habituating gorillas for a very special experience in Uganda.

Rwanda is gaining notoriety as Wilderness Safaris have just opened Bisate Lodge and the luxurious One and Only Hotel brand has taken over Rwanda’s Nyungwe Forest Lodge. It will not be called Nyungwe House.
