How Much Does a Rwanda Safari Cost in 2026

Rwanda Safari Cost Considerations

Rwanda is positioned as a luxury safari destination, with costs in 2026 typically ranging from $800 to $2,000 per person per day. The high cost is largely due to the price of gorilla trekking permits, which are significantly more expensive than in Uganda. For a custom itinerary and quote, contact our safari advisors.

Gorilla Trekking Permit Costs

A gorilla trekking permit in Rwanda costs $1,500 per person. This high price reflects the country's commitment to conservation and providing an exclusive, low-volume tourism experience. These permits must be booked far in advance, especially for the peak season. Learn more about gorilla trekking in our knowledge center.
