Costs, Permits, and Logistics

Confirm current fees when you book — tariffs are set by national park authorities and can change by season or residency status.

• Queen Elizabeth NP entry is about $40/day; Murchison Falls about $45/day (foreign non-resident rates).
• Road transfers are long — AeroLink flights to Kihihi/Kisoro save a full day on gorilla circuits.
• East Africa has two drier windows: June–September and December–February, though rain varies by park.
• Shoulder months can offer better permit availability and lower lodge rates.
• Gorilla trekking minimum age is 15 in Uganda and Rwanda; chimps in Kibale from age 12.
• Family rooms and private vehicles simplify pacing on mixed-ability itineraries.

Seasonal Timing

Dry months generally mean easier road access and firmer trekking trails, while wetter months can mean fewer visitors and lush scenery. Gorilla and chimp permits remain limited year-round — book early even in low season.
