Cheaper Permit for Gorilla Safaris

[Ed Wetschler]

The details are on the Tripatini blog, and a member poses a smart question about whether this is or isn't a good thing.

This is a tough one. Gorillas are the main draw of Uganda safaris and so it's difficult to argue with greater access encouraging tourism, but undoubtedly more people won't be good for the gorillas. Will the volume of tourists boosting Uganda's economy be enough to justify the cut prices and increased activity around the gorillas?

You phrased that exactly right, Mahlatini.
