    Great tour guide (Crispen) and great driver (Ben)! I experienced a lot of new things, and both Crispen and Ben learned me so many new things.

      There are three price components to this tour: 1) The Tour Price 2) The Gorilla & Chimp Trek Permit Price 3) The Adventure Pass / Local Payment Price. Every adventure tour has an Adventure Pass which is paid to your tour leader in Africa at the beginning of the tour (or pre-paid by arrangement prior to your tour).
