Budget gorilla tracking safaris can be organised but
inclusive of a private tailor made tour. Budget gorilla tracking also involves
buying a gorilla permit. In Uganda, the price for a gorilla permit is sold at $
600 and Rwanda at $ 750. This cost cuts across all tour packages and tracking
gorillas too doesn’t distinguish whether budget or luxury gorilla safari.
Uganda has discounted gorilla trekking permit seasons that
any one wishing to travel budget can use. During this time, even the lodges
that seem to be very expensive during the peak seasons reduce there prices to
attract customer. This would be one of the best options for someone with a
fixed budget yet wishes to do gorilla trekking. You may spend your nights in a
midrange or luxury lodge even with your fixed budget.
Gorilla tracking can also be mixed up with some other
wildlife safaris like a game drive and launch cruise in Queen Elizabeth
National Park, Chimpanzee habituation in Kibale National Park to mention but a few.
When gorilla trekking to see the gorillas, you must have gears like the rain
coat or poncho, tracking boots, long sleeved trouser and shirt, garden gloves
and several other gorilla trekking wears.
A budget gorilla trekking safari mainly includes budget
accommodation, vehicle, fuel, a guide, a gorilla trekking permits and several
others. You can also cut down your cost by sharing with others who wish to join
a group for gorilla trekking.
Some budget accommodations that can be booked for gorilla in
Bwindi forest National Park and Volcanoes National Park include Bwindi view
guest camp, Buhoma community bandas, Kinigi guest house, Gorilla Resort, Wag
Tail and several others. Travelling by public transport is possible and cheaper
but safety is not a guarantee especially for your property and life. Buses
normally leave Kampala so early in the morning but because of reckless driving,
you may end up getting accidents and the roads are impassable too.
Budget gorilla trekking can also be an alternative for
saving money to enjoy other beauties of the Pearl.
