Rwanda Gorilla Permits Sold Out? 2026 Alternatives

Rwanda Gorilla Permits: Planning Ahead

Rwanda gorilla permits are a hot commodity, and they often sell out quickly. The Rwanda Development Board (RDB) issues a limited number of permits per day, and they can be booked up to 2 years in advance. If you're planning to visit Volcanoes National Park to see the mountain gorillas, it's essential to plan ahead and book your permit early.

Cost of Gorilla Permits

The cost of a gorilla permit in Rwanda is $1,500 per person, per day. At Rwanda SafariTours, we offer an all-inclusive gorilla trekking package for $1,700, which includes the permit, transportation, and guide services. This is a great option for those who want a hassle-free experience.

Alternative Options When Permits Are Sold Out

If you find that gorilla permits are sold out for your desired dates, don't worry – there are alternative options available.
