My sister and I (in our 60s) travelled from Australia with a dream of Trekking to see the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda and witnessing the Great Migration of the Wildebeest in Northern Serengeti and ou… Full review by bronned
It's a long way to travel, an even longer distance to trek and a lot of money to see the gorillas so can anyone tell me what you actually see on a typical day? Seeing gorillas hiding in the bush or their backs while they are moving away is not something I'm willing to pay for. Thanks, tom

Are there any Restrooms along the gorilla trek Rwanda? I assume not, however, do the porters clear an area for a bush pee and then leave you for privacy?
A:
Hi Peg, Yes there are at the starts of the trekking trails, in case of any bush pee yes the privacy would indeed be guaranteed.
Were there any other fees not listed for the 2 day gorilla trekking?

HI Jake! Greetings ! As I mentioned depending on the time you choose to visit the park your park entry fees will be $1500 or $1050. I heard recently the Rwanda Government has introduced a special offer to restart/attract tourists post Covid-19 unlocking phase. You can check that special offer which I understand is upto December,2020. Other than this will be your taxi/vehicle cost from your hotel to Park entry/registration office; which is normally $80. And if you offer any tips to the guide, porter or trekker that will be additional expenses. Other than these there is no other fees or expense that you have to incur.
