What is a Gorilla Permit?

A gorilla permit is an essential document that grants you permission to participate in gorilla trekking. Without it, access to the gorillas in their natural habitat is prohibited. The limited number of permits available each day means that demand is incredibly high year-round, making early booking vital. Secure your permits for the dates that align best with your travel plans.

Permit Management and Costs

• Uganda: Managed by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the costs for gorilla permits are as follows:
  • $800 for Mgahinga and Bwindi Impenetrable National Parks
  • $1,500 for the Gorilla Habituation Experience
• Rwanda: Managed by the Rwanda Development Board, the cost for permits is:
  • $1,500 for Volcanoes National Park

Requirements for Booking Gorilla Permits

To successfully book your gorilla permit, you’ll need to provide the following details:

• Full names of each participant
• Passport numbers
• Country of residence
• Desired trekking dates
• Preferred trekking location (for Uganda)

We’ll send you the details of your reservation, so you can rest assured everything is in order for your trek.

What to Pack for Your Gorilla Trek

Proper preparation is essential for a successful gorilla trekking experience. Here’s a suggested packing list:

• Hiking Boots: Sturdy and broken-in to handle rugged terrain.
• Long-Sleeved Shirt or Blouse: To protect against thorny bushes and insects.
• Long Pants: Essential for protection; waterproof materials are recommended.
• Garden Gloves: Useful for stability when navigating tricky areas.
• Sunglasses and Hat: To shield yourself from the sun.

• Warm Clothes: Temperatures can drop in the forest, especially in the mornings.
• Insect Repellent: Important for protection against bites.

Important Notes on Gorilla Permits

• Advance Booking: We highly recommend obtaining your gorilla permit several months ahead of your planned trip, particularly during peak seasons (June, July, August, September, December, and February) when permits can sell out quickly.
• Single Use: Each gorilla permit can only be used once by a single individual for a single day of trekking in designated areas.
