Uganda questions

Do I need a gorilla permit for Uganda?

Yes. Bwindi and Mgahinga permits are limited and priced by the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Verified operators include permit handling in the quote.

How many days do I need?

A focused gorilla trip is three to four days. Add Kibale chimps or Jinja rafting for a week. Combine with Rwanda if you want two gorilla countries.

Is Uganda only for gorilla trekking?

No. Chimpanzee tracking, Nile rafting, Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth game drives are the usual add-ons once permits are booked.
