      I charge extra for solo traveler to enjoy fully there single room alone. The single supplement is $750 meaning it's $75 per day on single room benefit as this trip lodges are super Midrange. Gorilla tracking with a permit is included on this tour so No need of adding another day except if you want to track gorillas twice.
