Mountain Gorilla Trekking Uganda Rwanda DR-Congo Safaris-Tours

February 7, 2018
Mountain Gorilla Trekking Uganda Rwanda DR-Congo Safaris-Tours

Mountain Gorilla Trekking Uganda Rwanda DR-Congo Safaris-Tours, where to see mountain gorillas in the world, mountain gorillas can only be seen in Africa in particular Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the whole world mountain gorillas, can only be trekked in these three countries, but in DR-Congo there is also sub-species of lowland gorillas found in Eastern Congo-Kahuzi Biega National Park, in Rwanda mountain gorilla trekking is done in Volcanoes National Park, in Uganda mountain gorillas are seen in Both Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park while in DR-Congo mountain gorillas can be trekked in Virunga National Park. Check here the difference between lowland gorillas and mountain gorillas.

All in all lowland gorillas are smaller than mountain gorillas and also lowland gorillas have brownish-gray black with brow ridge, mountain gorillas are large with blacker but low land gorillas still many in numbers while Mountain gorillas are few making it the rarest primate in the world, currently only 890 are living in the wild forests of Uganda, Rwanda, and DR-Congo while lowland gorillas living in DR-Congo alone are over 950,000. Among the three Countries which has mountain gorillas, Uganda is the luckiest Country because Uganda is home to more than half of the worlds total number of mountain gorillas, over 490 mountain gorillas live in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in Uganda making the Country with the biggest population of mountain Gorillas in the whole world.

Gorilla Trekking Permit Price-Cost Rwanda, Uganda, and DR-Congo?

Mountain Gorilla Trekking Uganda Rwanda DR-Congo Safaris-Tours, all three gorilla trekking countries have different gorilla permit prices but the most important thing the gorilla trekking experience and gorilla trekking rules and regulations are the same in all three countries. In Uganda gorilla permit cost $700 per person, in Rwanda recently they increased its gorilla permit from $750 to $1500 per person making it the country with the most expensive gorilla permit, in DR-Congo gorilla permit price is at $400 with low season discounted gorilla permit during the month of 15th March to 15th May and  15th October to 15th December 2018, during months and dates is chance for budget travelers, you trek mountain gorillas in Congo at only $200 per person those interested in this promotional offer can contact us for more details.

Fly into Kigali Rwanda and Trek Gorillas in Uganda and Congo at Affordable Price?

We would advise those coming to Uganda and DR-Congo to trek gorillas and other safaris to fly to Kigali Rwanda and cross the border into Uganda or Congo because flying to Rwanda is the nearest easiest way to access Virunga National Park in Congo and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda, if you fly to Entebbe in Uganda you will spend 9 hours drive to Bwindi Forest but if you fly to Kigali Rwanda you only spend 3 and half hours to reach Bwindi Forest so flying to Rwanda saves you 5 hours on the road.

For Congo we recommend you fly to Kigali Rwanda and drive for about 3 and half hours to cross to Goma, this is the safe way and easiest way to access Congo Gorillas and also hiking the world most active volcano Mount Nyiragongo.
