Are the gorilla permits included?

Permits are only included when your quote lists them. This trip needs two permits per traveller, one for each trek, and they must be secured in advance, subject to availability.

The plan is a first trek from the Buhoma area and a second in the Rushaga sector. Your trekking areas depend on where permits are allocated, and lodges are matched to them at booking.

How demanding are the treks?

Gorilla trekking is physically demanding, and trails can be steep, muddy and wet. Bring sturdy hiking shoes, long trousers, drinking water and a rain jacket.

Are sightings guaranteed?

Wildlife sightings and trek times cannot be guaranteed. Activities are subject to park regulations, weather and permit availability.

Can you drop me in Kigali?

Yes, with advance planning. Cross-border transport and immigration requirements need arranging, and the Kigali drop-off is charged as an extra.

How does the price change with group size?

The price per person falls as your group grows: £2,179 for one traveller, £1,755 each for two, £1,614 each for three and £1,543 each for four.

About this expedition

Two days with the mountain gorillas, in two different corners of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. From Kampala or Entebbe you drive west with an Equator photo stop and lunch in Mbarara, reaching Bwindi in the evening. Your first trek starts from the Buhoma area, after which you transfer to the Rushaga sector in southern Bwindi and settle into a new lodge. Day three is a second trek in Rushaga, looking for a different habituated family, with the afternoon free to rest, take a nature walk or visit a neighbouring community. Lodges range from budget to luxury, and gorilla permits are secured in advance, subject to availability.
