Cost
What decides the cost of a gorilla permit trip
Permit rules and fees are set by the park authorities and change from time to time. Instead of quoting figures that may be out of date, we explain what moves the cost and give you an exact quote for your dates.
What a trek cost is made of
- The permit, which depends on the park, the category of visitor and the season.
- Lodging, from simple lodges to luxury camps.
- Transport, by road or by domestic flight.
- Guide and driver, plus any porter you request.
- Extras, such as a habituation experience or a chimpanzee trek.
How to get an exact figure
Ask for your quote with your dates and group size. We reply with one figure that lists everything included, so you can compare it fairly with other offers.
Ways to shape your budget
- Choose wetter months, when fewer visitors travel.
- Pick a lodge in a different sector from the most popular one.
- Fly one way and drive the other, instead of flying both.
Frequently asked questions
Does the quote include the permit?
Yes. Every trip we quote includes your gorilla permit for your date.
Why do you not publish prices?
Fees and availability change with dates and group size, so a published figure can mislead. A direct quote is accurate.
