Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Travel insurance for gorilla trekking?

Direct answer

Comprehensive travel insurance is essential for gorilla trekking — choose a policy covering emergency evacuation, medical treatment, trip cancellation, and adventure activities at altitude. Verify that prepaid gorilla permits (0–,500) are covered under trip-cancellation or 'cancel for any reason' riders, as UWA and RDB refunds are limited. AMREF Flying Doctors membership (–0) adds air ambulance cover across East Africa's remote parks.

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.
