Budget Gorilla Trekking Rwanda is the cheapest way of having a Gorilla trekking Safari in Rwanda. The Rwanda Gorilla trekking permit costs US$ 1500 each for anyone who wants to trek Gorillas in Volcanoes National Park.

Compared to neighboring countries the cost is high. However, the Gorillas of Rwanda are easy to trek since they are known to move for a short range. The park is also the closest to an International Airport and therefore saves you about 8 hours’ drive in either Uganda or Congo.
