Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Are gorilla permits included in Rwanda safari packages?

Direct answer

Most reputable Rwanda safari packages include the gorilla permit in the quoted price — always confirm before booking, as the USD 1,500 fee is non-refundable and permit availability is limited to roughly 96 slots daily. Budget quotes sometimes list permits separately. We secure permits through RDB at booking and require passport copies; permits are nominative and date-specific with no guarantee of refund on cancellation.

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.
