Budget Gorilla Safaris in Africa
Budget Gorilla safaris means heading out for Gorilla adventure, where you will have to track Gorillas that are believed to be sharing 95% DNA with humans, to the point where you will find them while being guided by an expert guide who will be following the broken tree branches and paths from the point that they left the Apes in the previously day. This experience can last for approximately 6hours or less depending on how far the Apes have moved, and one-hour allowance for you to watch the gorillas, play, feed their young ones and the Silverbacks exercise their authority. Expect to sight different bird species, and primates such as monkeys and baboons to mention but a few.
For those who have time and want to study the Gorillas more, their lifestyle, and unique behaviors, then Gorilla habituation experience is the best option for you, as you will spend the entire day, with the creatures at the habituation point, no need for breaking your bank account to engage in this amazing activity for it costs very less.
Africa has got two Gorilla species, the Lowland Gorillas found in Kahuzi-Biega national park, Democratic Republic of Congo and the mountain gorillas found in different national parks around the Virunga ranges shared by three countries, Virunga national park (DR Congo), Volcanoes national park (Rwanda) and Mgahinga Gorilla national park (Uganda); the only difference is that the Low Land Gorillas Are Huge with built bodies as compared to the Mountain Gorillas.
The cost of trekking Gorillas differs though the Apes are the same, Rwanda charges 1500usd, Democratic Republic of Congo charges 400usd and Uganda charges 700 USD. Meaning that for a budget safari, DR Congo and Uganda are the best destinations since they are very pocket friendly and rewarding. You should make booking few months in advance so that proper planning is made and trekking permits are secured on time, not that permits are on-demand yet only 8 are issued out per day for 8peopls aged 15 and above.
Don’t spend a lot of money on fines and treatment by paying attention to some rules that park rangers will tell you during the briefing session such as keeping a 7meter distance, no noise, dressing on a good trekking attire, using a fleshless camera while taking photos, no feeding the Gorillas, no littering the park and many more.
Keep accommodated by simply using budget hotels, lodges, inns, and hostels that have good facilities, security, meals, and lodging. Camping is a cheaper option, as you can have your tent and only pay for the camping sight or sleep in the available budget camping sites, strategically located in secure places with good security, clean water and in the middle of the wilderness that gives you a chance of listening to the roaring lions, sweet melodies of birds in the dead night as you rest under the African stars.
You must also pay keen attention to transportation since it can also cost a lot of money if ignored; if it is an excursion in the city, you can decide to walk since this makes you access many historical sites, and get real up close that you may not see while in a vehicle.
If not, board taxis or busses from the parks for those that are heading towards the direction of your safari, and interact with the locals during the journey. Be informed that the main languages used across Africa is English and Kiswahili for East Africa, while French, Arabic and some Germany can be used especially in the West and Central African countries. With the above tips, you can engage in so many activities.
