The Rwandan Development Board announced that effective immediately the cost of a single Gorilla Permit will increase from USD $750 to USD $1,500.
Ms. Clare Akamanzi, the Chief Executive Officer at Rwanda Development Board said:
“Gorilla trekking is a highly unique experience. We have raised the price of permits in order to ensure sustainability of conservation initiatives and enhance visitors’ experience. We also want to make sure that the communities living near the park area receive a bigger share of tourism revenues to fund development projects and empower them economically.”
