Rwanda Gorilla Permit price increased to USD1500.
Whenever there is news concerning gorilla trekking in Rwanda or Uganda, Katland Safaris is the first to report it. Gorilla licenses in Rwanda have been reported to go up to $1,500 per person, each trip. Gorilla permits are now twice as expensive as they were before, costing $1500.
As a result, Rwanda will become a more costly location for gorilla trekking, but the country will see an increase in cash from permit sales.
Thanks to its extensive marketing and political stability, Rwanda is able to retain its visitor numbers despite increasing the price of gorilla permits. Since one gorilla permit in Rwanda may cover the cost of a three-day all-inclusive gorilla safari in Uganda, this bodes well for gorilla trekking in Uganda.
Secure your Rwanda Gorilla permits in advance
Before the Rwandan government officially raises the fee to $1500, anybody interested in trekking mountain gorillas should get their permits.
while the price hike was announced, it is still not in effect. At the present price of USD750.00, Katland Safaris is able to reserve as many gorilla licenses as Rwanda did when the price was USD150,000.00. Notify us prior to implementation.
Gorilla licenses in Rwanda have been raised to $15,000.00. Benefit for the Nation of Uganda
As a result of the recent increase in the price of Rwandan gorilla permits from USD750 to USD1500, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda may temporarily benefit from an increase in tourism, as more and more people will consider Uganda as a safe and economical alternative to Rwanda for gorilla trekking.
Gorilla permits in Uganda still cost USD800 during peak season and USD800.00 during low season. Though the Uganda Wildlife Authority is expected to impose a price hike, it is quite unlikely that it would be on par with Rwanda’s.
One may pay one thousand fifty dollars and spend four hours in the new gorilla habituation experience with semi-habituated mountain gorillas in Uganda, which is still a popular tourist destination. Rwanda and Uganda are two of the countries where gorilla safaris are offered by Katland Safaris.
