Why You Need to Check Gorilla Permit Availability Early
Gorilla trekking permits are extremely limited and highly sought after. Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, along with Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, allow only a small number of visitors each day. That’s why it’s essential to check availability and reserve your gorilla permit as early as possible.
Top reasons to check gorilla permit availability now:
- Limited daily permits (Only 8 people per gorilla family)
- Permits often sell out 4–6 months in advance
- Avoid last-minute disappointments
- Lock in your preferred trekking date
