The best time for gorilla trekking is during Uganda's dry seasons: December to February (peak season) and June to September (shoulder season). These months offer better trekking conditions with less rain and clearer views of the gorillas.

Do I need a gorilla permit and how much does it cost?

Yes, a gorilla permit is required and costs $800 USD per person. Permits are limited to 8 people per gorilla family per day. We include this in our tour packages, but it must be booked in advance as permits sell out quickly.
