Questions
The answers people ask for most before they book.
In 2026, a Uganda gorilla permit costs $800 per person for foreign non-residents. It is set by the Uganda Wildlife Authority. A Rwanda permit costs $1,500 per person and is set by the Rwanda Development Board. Rates can change, so we confirm the current price when we quote your trip.
Uganda has the lower permit price, and Bwindi is home to about half of the world's mountain gorillas. Rwanda has easier access from Kigali and some of the best lodges. We can plan either country, or both on one trip.
You spend one hour with a gorilla family once you find them. Finding them can take anything from about one hour to several hours of hiking.
A maximum of eight visitors can visit each gorilla family per day.
Visitors must be at least 15 years old to trek to the gorillas.
The drier months, June to September and December to February, give easier trails. You can trek all year. The wetter months of March to May and October to November often have lower lodge prices.
A 60% deposit secures your booking. The balance is due a month before departure. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express and bank transfer.
Book as early as you can. Permits are limited each day and popular dates sell out, especially in the drier months. Send us your dates and we check permit availability first.
