Budget Gorilla Trekking – The Best Way to Save Money on Your Trip

The best budget gorilla safaris take place in Uganda and DR Congo. You cannot have budget gorilla tours in Rwanda because of the high cost of gorilla permits.

However, it is important to understand that affordable gorilla trekking, cheap gorilla safaris, and budget gorilla trekking are different experiences.

Many travelers often confuse these terms.

  • Budget gorilla trekking focuses on reducing costs while maintaining a certain level of comfort in accommodation and services. This option ensures a great experience at the best possible price.
  • Affordable gorilla trekking means getting what you want but at a lower price. Even a luxury gorilla safari can be made affordable by negotiating discounts at high-end lodges.
  • Cheap gorilla safaris prioritize the gorilla trekking activity itself. Travelers on these trips do not focus much on transport or accommodation. Many choose to stay in basic lodges or even camp to reduce costs.

We do not often recommend cheap gorilla safaris and instead encourage booking budget gorilla trekking.

We have special agreements with mid-range lodges that allow us to offer their services at discounted rates, making your budget safari more affordable while still ensuring comfort in accommodation and transport.
