Unbeatable
For many people, gorilla trekking is the driving force of coming to Rwanda, however, there is a lot to do more than that and you can see a lot in this country than just the famous mountain gorillas. The expenditure of the permits to track the gorillas definitely discourages many from visiting Rwanda, so in many cases, it’s more expensive than the cost of the flight. So, it’s also important to enjoy an equal fantastic experience for a fraction of the cost and come and track the chimpanzees instead. In so many ways, tracking the chimps is so different from the mountain gorilla experience, so unlike the mountain gorillas, the chimps are moving constantly around and at high speeds, jumping from tree to tree making noise. But the gorillas are usually found sitting eating quietly with in the forest clearings.
