Is gorilla trekking in Rwanda worth $1,500?

Mountain gorilla trekking in Rwanda is expensive but worth it because of the high costs of conservation measures and community support campaigns. Part of the reasons to support the communities is help them settle and engage in other activities without encroaching & focusing on poaching mountain gorillas for economic gains. Through this support, the mountain gorilla population has been seen increasing over a couple of decades. Mountain gorillas are also a unique and special primates species that is only found in the Virunga massif guarantying a rare and privileged travel experience.
