Out of curiosity, has anyone done a safari to see gorillas before? I'm guessing such a thing is pretty expensive from what I've looked at so far

sojykhqeftsbo1mo

yes, i went last year and did it in uganda

pvimxnwygfadk1mo

it's expensive but worth it

fwnyshdchwhqr1mo

uganda is the cheapest safe place to do it. you can do it cheaper in DRC but it's a bit dodgy.

jbtkzvysgpzez1mo

you'll need a driver and 2 nights at a lodge in addition to the trek, which was $600 last year.

otsfzrmrmyryf1mo

depending on season it sells out, so plan ahead.

yygjbundzporj1mo

if going in uganda, fly into kigali not kampala, it'll save you a ton of time

vcjfjoffnqf1mo

I'd you do happen to go to DRC for it, the hike up to mount nyiragongo is nearby and awesome.

jdejvyg1mo

How much was the trek itself? When I look online, I see 1500 as the cheapest per person

lusjnivqzduoie1mo

$1500 pp is the rate for gorilla treks in Rwanda. Uganda Bwindi Forest, where we went last year, is $600 pp.

xtulrfbxpdzjan1mo

As rriexvsgapplvu said - worth it.

klohdspsfvylxo1mo

We stayed at Mutanda Lake, which is also pretty magical.

cpzaaoamnhcjv1mo

of $1500 could be for a package where they organize everything. i did it all on my own.

whzypxim1mo

I did it as a quick weekend trip from Kampala and I found someone to organize it for me for about $1500. I had a resident’s visa at the time so I got a bit of a discount on the permit though. (Also this was a few years ago).

uxhxudeajniopq1mo

in Rwanda it is 1500/pp/day for the permit alone
