Gorilla Trekking Permit

Uganda · Bwindi

About this experience

Secure your permit for one of Africas most profound wildlife encounters - trekking to see endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to roughly half of the worlds remaining mountain gorillas. Your trek begins with a briefing from Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. Trekking groups are limited to 8 visitors per habituated family. The hike can take 1-6 hours through dense montane forest and steep ravines. Once located, you spend one unforgettable hour in the presence of these gentle giants. Permits must be booked 3-6 months in advance.
