    Asked on June 15th, 2022

    I am traveling alone, but the website only gives me the option to book for two people. I don't mind sharing a room with another person on the tour. How can I book as only one person?

      Is it possible to skip the gorilla trekking? I would love to do it, but the permit is so expensive. Can I just sit out on that activity?

      TravelerWritten June 2022

      The price seems amazing, but I am worried about hidden fees... Besides the chimpanzee and gorilla permits, what other additional fees are there for this tour?

    • Lakato SafarisOperatorWritten June 2022

      You can travel as solo traveler. Its also very possible to have gorilla tracking skipped. The total cost for a solo traveller is 2410 dollars
