Gorilla trekking questions, answered
Permit costs, when to book, fitness and where trips start. Cannot find your answer? Ask in the form or on WhatsApp. It is free to ask.
How much does a gorilla permit cost?
A Uganda gorilla permit costs $800 per person and a Rwanda permit costs $1,500. The park authorities set these fees and they can change, so we confirm the current fee when we check your dates.
How early should I book?
As early as you can. Permits for the drier months, June to September and December to February, sell out first. Send us your dates and we check what is available.
What does the quote include?
Your quote lists what is included, such as permits, lodging, transport and a guide, and what is not, so you know the full cost before you confirm anything.
How fit do I need to be?
You should be able to walk for several hours on steep forest trails. Porters can carry your bag, and your guide sets the pace for the group.
What is the minimum age for gorilla trekking?
The minimum age is 15.
Can you plan the trip from Entebbe or Kigali?
Yes. Most safaris start and end in Entebbe or Kigali, and we can plan your route from either.
What if I only have a few days?
Gorilla safaris start at two days. Tell us how many days you have and we plan around it.
