How much is in total this tour with the gorila trek per person?

The price depends on which departure date you are looking at. As a guideline the current Gorilla permit price is £750 per person and the trip starts from £1030 per person plus a local payment amount of $590 due to the tour leader at the start of the trip.

I was wondering if there is electricity in the areas we are camping...I have a CPAP.

This section of the trip is 100% camping though we do have charging facilities on the truck for your cpap machine, that's not a problem. You will just need to let us know about bringing that on the trip so we can note it on our end as we do take everyone's medical conditions seriously. We would also recommend bringing a travel battery that will hold charge for most of the nights and a power bank. On some days you may do wild camping which means there might not be electricity for several days and the truck charging portals may not be used during these times since the truck will not be moving but this will not be for more than 3 days.

How much does it cost to track gorillas?

The trekking is an additional £710.00 and US$40 for the transport on top of the trip price and local payment price.

I've been looking at the 13-day trip -Nairobi To Kigali (13 Days) Gorillas & Gameparks. I have a few questions. How much is the gorilla trekking? Do you have a list of all the optional activities on the trip and the prices of them? I am weighing up whether I can afford the trip with additional activities and food

Gorilla Trekking is priced at £710.00 per person. Optional excursions in Uganda include Whitewater Rafting - White Nile at US$140, Chimpanzee trek at US$125, Tandem Kayaking at US$160, Quadbiking from US$50, and many more options ranging from US$25 to US$120

I'm interested in booking this tour for next year but the dates for next year haven't been released yet and I was wondering when they would be released so I can book it.

The trip from the 14th January to the 26th January 2024 is filling up nicely. You are welcome to book onto that date for now. The other 2024 trips aren't guaranteed to operate yet. The trip price is £975 per person, with a local payment of US$485 per person.

How much should I estimate for the extra activities (US-Dollars), which are not included in the tour?

I don't yet understand how much the Gorilla tour itself costs. How much is that?

Could you please clarify the sleeping arrangements? Could you also clarify the bathroom arrangements? Also, this traveler wants to know what is the best time to see the gorillas.

This tour is based on 100% camping at campsites. The campsites mostly have decent toilet facilities, but not always hot showers. We offer this trip all year round, and since the gorillas are located in a very small area, one should be able to see them all year round too.

how much is it to add the gorilla trek? do you pick up from the airport on the first day or am I best to fly in the day prior?

Gorilla Permit will be £710.00. Airport transfer can be arranged for £25.00

Can you tell me exactly what is included in this trip?

What’s Included • Airport pick up and one night pre-trip accommodation at Karen Camp (in a dorm room) ++ • Lake Nakuru National Park • Lake Naivasha • Camping and Cooking gear • Meals prepared by group or provided - approx 60% • All transport on Oasis Expedition Truck • Accommodation fees (100% camping)

Would it be possible for me to leave the tour after the gorilla trekking in Uganda?

It would be possible for you to leave the trip earlier. You could leave straight after trekking with the gorillas late afternoon, but that would mean having to arrange your own taxi / transport back from the gorillas on to where ever you may be going. As we will be getting the group taken to the Rwandan border straight from the gorilla trek. You would also need to have all your belongings with you to take to the gorilla trek and leave them in the transport vehicle while you are trekking. You would also have to arrange any accommodation for yourself the moment you leave the trip. So it is possible but it is not the easiest of options.

  I am really looking forward to join the gorila trek at end of September/October because i can only get vacations at this time max November but unfortunately I still can't decide and put the deposit as my boyfriend is having a health situation and only after that I may see you still have places available.

  Gorilla Trekking Permit = £710 per person. On our trips to Rwanda & Uganda, the opportunity of being up close and personal with a family of highland Mountain Gorillas, has to be classed as one of the most amazing wildlife encounters in Africa.
