Q:
It's a long way to travel, an even longer distance to trek and a lot of money to see the gorillas so can anyone tell me what you actually see on a typical day? Seeing gorillas hiding in the bush or their backs while they are moving away is not something I'm willing to pay for. Thanks, tom

HI Jake! Greetings ! As I mentioned depending on the time you choose to visit the park your park entry fees will be $1500 or $1050. I heard recently the Rwanda Government has introduced a special offer to restart/attract tourists post Covid-19 unlocking phase. You can check that special offer which I understand is upto December,2020. Other than this will be your taxi/vehicle cost from your hotel to Park entry/registration office; which is normally $80. And if you offer any tips to the guide, porter or trekker that will be additional expenses. Other than these there is no other fees or expense that you have to incur.

Q:
How did you book the hike to the gorillas, through a tour agency or directly through the park? Thanks!
A:
We booked through Rwanda Eco Tours online on recommendation. No issue either the company or drivers.
