To ensure your journey with us is seamless, safe, and deeply rewarding, we have compiled all the critical information you need to know before you travel. Please review the following guidelines carefully.
Your peace of mind and safety are our top priorities. Exclusive Gorilla Vacations operates with full transparency and legal authority within the Republic of Uganda.
To ensure a smooth entry into Uganda and participation in your trekking activities, please prepare the following well in advance of your departure.
The safety of our guests and the protection of the wildlife we cherish are paramount. These are non-negotiable national park rules.
We maintain an intimate and high-value group dynamic for an exceptional safari experience.
Proper planning ensures smooth transit throughout your journey.
Uganda is a beautiful country with diverse, shifting landscapes, which means navigating between national parks involves considerable distance.
You should expect long travel times on transit days, with average driving times ranging from 5 to 8 hours between primary destinations. Some roads can be rough, unpaved, or bumpy.
We balance these transit days with early morning game drives and regular scenery stops to keep the journey engaging and comfortable.
Permit Deposit Policy: A deposit of $1,100 USD per person is required at the time of booking. This is non-refundable as it is used immediately to legally secure your official Mountain Gorilla ($800) and Chimpanzee ($300) trekking permits.
Important Note: Because the Uganda Wildlife Authority strictly caps the number of daily visitors to protect the primates, these permits sell out months in advance. Early booking is highly recommended.
At Exclusive Gorilla Vacations, we believe in meaningful travel that supports local communities. While this is entirely optional, we invite you to consider traveling with purpose.
