When we talk about ‘budget’ what crosses many people’s minds is cheeap , poor quality and low, however, with AA Safaris & Tours the phase ‘Budget Gorilla Safaris’ refers to pocket friendly – affordable safaris with good services and fulfilling adventure experiences and wildlife encounters.
We see to it that even our clients on budget safaris also receive good quality services although this may not be matched to those luxury travelers. Budget safaris involves staying in less expensive accommodation however you will still be offered our nice safari vehicles and even encounter the different wildlife as other travelers.
Accommodation
Although this is no guarantee at all accommodation facilities, Budget hotels, or lodges, or camps offer private toilets as well as bathrooms, but even those that offer shared facilities, they are all in very good conditions. They offer nice meals prepared by their chefs similar to that prepared for luxury safari travelers.
Safari Vehicles
It is our responsibility to ensure that our budget safari travelers also use well serviced safari cars that are in good working conditions. The slight difference there is with luxury travelers is regarding the comfort of vehicle. However what you should have in mind is that you will get a window seat and the safari guide-drives that will take on are the same so you will certain benefit from their vast knowledge and good wildlife information.
Wildlife Encounters
Regardless of whether you are a luxury or budget traveler you will see similar features, visit the same site (basing on your preference). You will be briefed by the same park wardens and enjoy similar tracking experience especially when going to track Gorillas, chimpanzees, colobus monkeys as well as Golden monkeys.
Gorilla Safaris in Uganda and Rwanda
Budget as well as luxury travelers during their gorilla safari holiday you will be guided by similar park ranger guides and receive equal treatment. We conduct our Rwanda Gorilla Safaris in Volcanoes National Park and then our Uganda Gorilla Tracking Safaris in either Bwindi National Park or Mgahinga National Park.
The highlight of any safari in Africa is tracking the mountain gorillas either in Rwanda or Uganda and there isn’t any other known wildlife encounter that can be matched to coming face to face with the giant mountain gorillas and staring into their big brown eyes! According to the Uganda Wildlife Authority – Uganda and the Rwanda Development Board –Rwanda which are the wildlife governing bodies in the two countries, each year, millions and millions of foreign holidaymakers travel from all parts of the world just to come and trek these gorillas.
This too is well manifested in the high demand for the gorilla tracking permits’ it requires one to make their booking at least three months to the desired date they wish to track. Each day of the year, there are people tracking the gorillas and during the peak tourist season the demand is overwhelming.
Holidaymakers on Budget gorilla safaris will also track similar groups of gorillas just as luxury travelers. You are all allowed to take photographs with them as well as spend the same time (one hour) with the gorillas. Irrespective of whether you are a Budget or a Luxury traveler, the cost of a gorilla permit in Rwanda is $750, while in Uganda it is at US $600
So because of the above mentioned reasons, we advice everyone who would love to enjoy a gorilla safari in Rwanda or Uganda; to go ahead and make their reservation through us. Irrespective of your budget you will without a doubt have a memorable safari experience with AA Safaris & Tours Ltd.
