Why go for Gorilla Trekking in Uganda?

Me I think Rwanda is giving Uganda an opportunity to sale more gorilla permits because if one is given a chance to choose between a permit which cost $600 and one which cost $1500 definitely you choose $600 as we all know when planning a tour/safari prices and budget is the biggest factor one will look at, in my view Rwanda is targeting high end market because it is hard for a normal budget tourist to pay $1,500 for just one permit while in Uganda a budget 3 days gorilla trekking tour cost $1,500 all inclusive accommodation, all meals on safari, bottled water on safari vehicle, services of driver/guide, all park entry fees and set activities on the 3 day Uganda gorilla tracking itinerary for only $1,500

Rwanda Development Board?

Rwanda Development Board chief executive officer Clare Akamanzi says that increasing Rwanda gorilla permit is a long term project whereby more people and communities living near or around Volcanoes National Park and other parks in Rwanda will get a bigger share from tourism revenues to fund different community development projects to empower them more economically,  Clare Akamanzi added that Rwanda wants to ensure tourist/visitors experience is improved and  sustainability of Rwanda conservation.
