FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers about how we plan safaris, who we work with, and what to expect when you travel with us.
Why should I book with Uganda Gorilla Trekking?
We specialise in gorilla trekking and related Uganda and Rwanda safaris. That focus means clearer advice on permits, sectors, lodges and itinerary pace — plus private journeys planned around your dates.
Are your safaris private?
Yes. Our safaris are private for you and your group. You set the pace with your guide rather than joining a fixed group departure.
Do you help with gorilla permits?
Yes. We guide you on availability, timing and how permits fit your itinerary, then help secure them as part of the booking process.
Can you tailor an itinerary to our interests?
Absolutely. Most travellers combine gorilla trekking with chimpanzees, savannah parks, culture or a Rwanda extension. We shape the route to your time, budget and fitness.
Where are you based?
We operate as a local East Africa safari specialist focused on Uganda and Rwanda — planning with on-the-ground partners for parks, lodges and guiding.
