Golden Monkey Trekking Add-On: What It Adds to Your Gorilla Package

Golden Monkey Trekking Add-On: What It Adds to Your Gorilla Package

Published August 26, 2026 · By · 1 min read

Golden monkey trekking is the single most popular add-on to a gorilla itinerary, and for good reason — a fraction of the cost and a genuinely different, faster-paced encounter.

The Cost

Roughly 100 US dollars, against 800 to 1,500 for the gorilla permit itself.

The Experience

Golden monkeys move constantly through the bamboo, making for a livelier, faster encounter than the slower, more deliberate gorilla trek.

Where It Fits

Usually the day after or before the gorilla trek, in the same park in Rwanda, or a separate visit to Mgahinga in Uganda.
