How to plan for Budget Gorilla Trekking in Uganda
To have a less costly or cheapest Gorilla trekking tour in Uganda, there are several things that you can do to help you minimize your cost. Here are some of the things you can do to have the least cost for your Gorilla tour;
- Take a Gorilla trekking tour in the low season
Just like any other Uganda safari activity, the best time to trek Gorillas in Uganda is during the dry season which is between December – February and June – September. However, this is the high season and no Lodges or tour operators offer discounts which makes it expensive to trek.
The low season is between October – November and April to May. However, this is the rainy season but the advantage with it is that many Lodges offer discounts. Take advantage of this season to have discounted accommodation and travel on budget.
- Stay in Budget accommodation in Bwindi or Mgahinga
Both Bwindi Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park have budget lodges where you can stay at a low cost. To have a cheap gorilla holiday, you can book a tour and stay in one of the budget lodges around.
- Take short tours
Having a Short Uganda Gorilla trekking tour means spending less. To have a Gorilla trekking safari in Uganda, you need a minimum of 3 Days with a transfer and return to Kampala. But to have a cheaper trip then arriving via Rwanda’s Kigali International Airport makes it much cheaper since you can have a 2 Days Uganda Gorilla trek.
When you just want to trek the Gorillas without including other activities, then a short trip, in the low season combined with staying in budget hotels is the best way to have your holiday.
