Frequently Asked Questions - Answered

How much do gorilla trekking permits cost?

Uganda: $800 per person for foreign non-residents at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.

Rwanda: $1,500 per person for foreign visitors at Volcanoes National Park.

Permits must be booked well in advance, especially during peak seasons (June-September and December-January).

The minimum age is 15 years old in both Uganda and Rwanda. This restriction exists because younger children may find the trek physically challenging and might inadvertently disturb the gorillas or carry diseases that could affect these vulnerable primates.

Moderate fitness is required. Treks can last 2-8 hours through dense forest, steep terrain, and muddy paths. You’ll hike at altitudes of 2,000-4,000 meters. Regular walking or light jogging preparation is recommended. Porters are available to carry bags and assist if needed.

Dry seasons: June-September and December-February offer easier hiking conditions with less mud and rain.

Wet seasons: March-May and October-November have fewer crowds and lush scenery, but trails are more challenging. Gorillas can be tracked year-round as they don’t migrate.

You must maintain a 7-meter (23-foot) distance from gorillas at all times. However, curious gorillas may approach closer on their own. You’re allowed one hour with the gorilla family once found, providing incredible opportunities for photography and observation.

Essential items:

  • Long-sleeved shirts and pants (protection from stinging nettles)
  • Waterproof hiking boots with good grip
  • Rain jacket and poncho
  • Gardening gloves for grabbing vegetation
  • Insect repellent
  • Camera with extra batteries
  • Walking stick (often provided)
  • Small backpack
  • Water and snacks
Each gorilla family visit is limited to 8 people maximum per day. This helps minimize stress on the gorillas and ensures a more intimate experience. Groups are accompanied by armed rangers and expert guides who know the gorilla families’ habits and locations.
Success rates are 95-99% in both countries. Park rangers track gorilla movements daily and maintain radio contact during treks. If your group doesn’t find gorillas (very rare), some parks offer a partial refund or opportunity to try again the next day, depending on availability and park policies.
What's the best time to visit for Game Safaris?

Kenya: June-October (dry season, Great Migration in Maasai Mara July-October) and January-March for fewer crowds.

Uganda: June-September and December-February offer drier conditions for easier wildlife viewing.

Rwanda: June-September provides the best weather for gorilla trekking, though safaris are possible year-round.

Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for all three countries. Recommended vaccinations include hepatitis A/B, typhoid, meningitis, and malaria prophylaxis. Consult a travel medicine specialist 4-6 weeks before departure for personalized advice based on your itinerary.
Options range from budget camping and guesthouses ($30-80/night) to mid-range lodges ($150-400/night) and luxury safari camps ($500-2000+/night). Many properties offer all-inclusive packages covering meals, game drives, and activities.
Game drives use 4WD vehicles for wildlife viewing, offering safety and mobility to cover large areas. Walking safaris provide intimate bush experiences with armed guides, focusing on tracking, smaller wildlife, and ecosystem understanding. Both offer unique perspectives.

Kenya offers excellent combinations with coastal destinations like Diani Beach, Malindi, or Lamu after safari. Uganda and Rwanda are landlocked but can be combined with Zanzibar (Tanzania) or Kenya’s coast. Experiya Tour Company offers seamless beach-safari packages with domestic flights.

Kenya: Yes, all Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino) in parks like Maasai Mara and Amboseli. Uganda: Yes, though rhinos are only at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary before continuing to other parks. Rwanda: Yes, all Big Five in Akagera National Park following successful reintroduction programs.
Yes, many travelers combine Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya in 2-3 week itineraries. The East Africa Tourist Visa facilitates multi-country travel. Popular combinations include gorilla trekking in Uganda/Rwanda followed by classic game viewing in Kenya’s Maasai Mara.
Gorilla permits should be booked 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak season. General safari bookings should be made 3-6 months ahead for better availability and rates. Last-minute bookings (2-4 weeks) are possible but limit accommodation choices and may result in higher prices.
