🦍 Planning to Trek Gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda?
Here’s why you MUST book your gorilla permits in advance!
🌍 Gorilla trekking is one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences on Earth—but permits are very limited each day to protect the endangered mountain gorillas. It’s definitely a bucket list item, a very special activity.
🎟️ Permits are few and demand is high—especially in peak seasons (June–Sept & Dec–Feb). Waiting until the last minute could mean missing out entirely! There are only 8 permits, per gorilla troop, per day available.
📌To be safe and get your preferred dates, you should ideally book your gorilla permits at least:
👉 3 to 6 months in advance
📝Only a licensed registered tour company can purchase a gorilla permit. Do your research and checkout companies.
⌛️Booking early helps you:
• Secure your preferred trekking date
• Get the best lodges near the park
• Lock in the current permit price before any increases, this is so important
• Enjoy a smooth, well-planned journey into the misty mountains
⛰️Whether you choose Bwindi or Mgahinga in Uganda or Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, don’t leave this once-in-a-lifetime experience to chance. 🥾🌳
✅ If you’re planning a multi-country safari (e.g., Uganda + Rwanda + Kenya etc ), before deciding on other activities, make a decision on when you want to trek gorillas. Then an itinerary can be built around your trek day.🦍
