Two trips with the same number of days can be priced very differently. These are the things that move the number, so you can decide where to spend and where to save.
Permits and park fees
Gorilla and chimpanzee permits are often the biggest single cost on a primate trip. Park entry fees are charged per person per day. Both are set by the park authorities, not by us, and we show them as separate lines on your quote.
Where you sleep
Lodges range from simple and comfortable to very high end. The lodge is usually where the biggest choice sits. We will tell you honestly where an upgrade is worth it and where it is not.
When you travel
The drier months are busiest, and some lodges charge more then. The wetter months are quieter and often cheaper, and the trekking is still very good.
How you get around
Road travel in a private 4x4 is good value and you see the country. Short domestic flights cost more but save long days on the road, which matters on shorter trips.
How many of you travel
Vehicle and guide costs are shared across the group, so the cost per person falls as more people travel together.
What our quotes include
Every quote we send is itemised, with permits, park fees, each night’s accommodation, the vehicle and guide, flights and our fee. Nothing is hidden inside a single number.
