Have you been dreaming of waking up in a misty Africa and walk through a pristine forest to meet your close relatives – the endangered mountain gorillas? Uganda’s Bwindi and Mgahinga national parks welcome tourists looking for a memorable encounter with these majestic apes. Gorilla trekking, which is one of the rare yet highly sought adventures, is said to be one of the most expensive safari activities in Africa. However, for primate lovers that are looking for budget gorilla trekking trips, Uganda is the place to go.
A local tour operator will help you arrange your Uganda gorilla safari in an easy and reliable way. All you need to do is get in touch with them and share your estimated budget so they will suggest something that suits you.
Basic Inclusions of a Budget Gorilla Safari
Gorilla permit
Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) issues gorilla permits for the two gorilla destinations- Bwindi and Mgahinga, at a fixed price of US$700 for a foreign nonresident, $600 for a foreign resident and UGX250,000 for an East African citizen. Whether you are looking for a budget or luxury gorilla safari, in this case the price of a gorilla permit does not change. You can secure your gorilla permit through a trusted tour operator.
Accommodation
The standard of your accommodation is one of the things that will highly affect the price of your safari. There is a significant difference in the rates of budget and luxury lodges in Uganda and Africa at large. If you are looking for a budget gorilla safari, we will arrange your tour considering a budget lodge that offers worthwhile accommodation services. And if you want to go camping, simply let us know when making your safari inquiry.
