At 400 US dollars, DR Congo’s Virunga permit is the least expensive gorilla trekking option in the region, making it the natural choice for genuinely budget-conscious travellers, subject to current security conditions.
Why It’s Cheaper
DR Congo’s tourism infrastructure is less developed than Uganda’s or Rwanda’s, reflected directly in the permit price.
What to Check First
Current security conditions in eastern DR Congo, which can change with little notice — always confirm at time of booking.
