Permits to view gorillas in Uganda are in high demand, with only 18 people per day being allowed to view at Bwindi, and 6 at Mgahinga, plus a further 6 at Nkuringo. A percentage of the permits at Bwindi are sold up to 48 months in advance, and only members of the Association of Uganda Tour Operators are allowed pre-purchase permits.
The balance are sold three months prior to trekking. At Mgahinga & Nkuringo, the permits are on sale three months prior to trekking date – this is due to the fact that the gorilla family at Mgahinga sometimes crosses the border to Rwanda, and so cannot be viewed all year round.
For those guests on private or tailor made tours outside the scheduled dates for which we have limited permits, we will purchase permits after the agent has secured payment for these from the guests. Should we be unable to secure permits, we will refund guests immediately. |
