When to Book Your Congo Gorilla Trekking Trip

Spring coincides with Congo’s wet season but this doesn’t mean gorilla trekking is off-limits. While the trails might be slightly slippery, the experience remains unmatched.

We recommend booking your trip well in advance—preferably a year ahead—to secure permits and accommodations. Gorilla trekking permits are limited and sell out quickly, especially during holidays.

If you’re ready to book, send us your preferred dates for March, April or May and we’ll check availability for permits and other services. Once we’ve confirmed, we’ll guide you through the simple process of securing your booking.

What Your Gorilla Permit Covers

Planning to visit Africa this spring to see the majestic mountain gorillas in the lush jungles of Virunga National Park, Congo? Booking your gorilla permit in advance is essential to secure your spot and avoid missing out due to high demand.

A gorilla permit is an official authorization issued by the Virunga National Park Authority, granting you the opportunity to trek and observe these endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Each permit is valid only for the specific date it’s booked, so it’s important to ensure your availability on the day of your trek.

2. Professional Ranger and Security Team
   A trained ranger guide will accompany you throughout the trek, providing fascinating insights into gorilla behavior and ensuring your safety. A tourism police officer, often armed, will be present to handle any encounters with wildlife.
3. Park Entry Fees
   The permit includes access to Virunga National Park, with validity for 24 hours.
4. Pre-Trek Briefing
   Enjoy an informative talk before the trek, covering the dos and don’ts while interacting with the gorillas and exploring their habitat.
