Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Gorilla trekking insurance?

Direct answer

Dedicated adventure or trekking insurance is strongly recommended — standard policies often exclude high-altitude hiking or non-refundable activity deposits. Ensure cover includes emergency medical evacuation (helicopter rescue from Bwindi can exceed ,000), trip cancellation, and prepaid permit costs (0 Uganda, ,500 Rwanda). AMREF Flying Doctors and similar East Africa evacuation memberships complement comprehensive travel insurance for remote forest trekking.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
