Send both. Build a Rwanda and a Uganda version of the same safari from your packages and send the client both quotes, with the permit as its own line in each. For two foreign non-resident clients that line is USD 3,000 in Rwanda and USD 1,600 in Uganda at standard rates. The comparison guide below covers Uganda’s low-season and rescheduling conditions.
Confirm the rate before you quote. Visit Rwanda says special offers are available for Rwandan and East African Community residents but doesn’t publish those rates on its gorilla tracking page, so check them with the Rwanda Development Board and state the rate you used on the quote.
Each figure is from the official source linked under it. Confirm the rate when you book and state on the quote which rate you applied.
