In the wake of Rwandan authorities doubling the cost of permits to view gorillas from $750 to $1,500, Intrepid Travel announced it is still offering the permits at the original prices.
Intrepid prepurchased permits, enabling the operator to offer clients the original reduced price of $750.
The tour operator offers a 16-day Gorillas & Game Parks overland adventure through Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda, which includes a close encounter with the gentle giants in their natural habitat starting at $2,727.
Travelers on this sustainable, responsible trip roam the verdant plains, rain forests, papyrus-fringed lakes and acacia woodlands of game parks to spot lions, rhinos, chimps, antelopes, hippos, leopards and more in their natural habitats.
