Planning FAQ
Questions travellers ask before choosing this route.
Use these answers to narrow your plan, then send an enquiry when you want dates, lodge level and pricing checked.
Are gorilla permits included?
Permit handling depends on the final itinerary and availability. Send dates early so the team can advise permit status and timing.
Can primate trekking be combined with wildlife safaris?
Yes. Uganda and Rwanda trips can include gorillas, chimpanzees, wildlife parks, Kigali or wider Kenya and Tanzania safari extensions.
How fit do I need to be for trekking?
A moderate fitness level is helpful. Trek duration varies by gorilla family location, terrain and weather on the day.
Is private travel possible?
Yes. Private routing is recommended when permit timing, comfort level, photography or a slower pace matters.
