Your Guide to The Ultimate African Experience
Today we shine the light on Mountain Gorillas, yes the endangered mountain gorillas. These gentle giants live in forests up in the mountains, at elevations of 2,000 to 4,000 meters. They have thicker and denser hair compared to chimpanzees and other apes, which helps them survive in a habitat where temperatures often drop below freezing.
Booking Gorilla permits
Gorilla permit bookings and tracking are within the booking terms and regulations of relevant authorities in Uganda and Rwanda. Permits are open to the public for sale two years in advance and sold on a first come first serve basis with payment. A gorilla permit is not a guarantee of seeing gorillas. Unforeseen circumstances may sometimes limit access to the gorillas at short notice. Refunds are entirely at the discretion of the relevant authorities but we shall do our best to help while respecting partner rules and regulations.
