Let us know which country you prefer, and we’ll help you plan and book your unforgettable adventure.
Discounted Low Season Gorilla Treks
Traveling during the low season (the rainy months) offers fantastic savings! You can enjoy discounted rates on hotels, services, and permits, making this an ideal time for budget-friendly gorilla trekking. Our website features a range of affordable safari packages, from short treks to longer adventures across Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo. And, if you’d like, we can combine treks in all three countries, giving you a truly diverse gorilla experience.
While most safaris start and end in Uganda’s Entebbe, we also offer flexible itineraries that begin and end in Kigali, Rwanda, allowing you to explore both Uganda and Congo.
Best Time to Book Your Low Season Gorilla Safari
Booking your gorilla safari at least three months in advance is recommended. Planning ahead not only ensures you get the best rates but also secures your gorilla permits, which can sell out quickly. If you’re interested in trekking during the rainy season, get in touch with us today, and we’ll check availability for you.
Once we’ve confirmed availability for the gorilla permits on your selected dates, we’ll inform you right away. If you’re happy with the dates and permits, we’ll guide you on making payment through bank transfer or debit/credit card (please note: card payments carry a small surcharge). After your payment, we’ll secure the permits for you and send you the booking ID and receipt.

- Gorilla permits
- Accommodation
- Round-trip transport from Entebbe or Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Gorilla Permits: What You Need to Know
Your gorilla permit is essential for trekking in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable or Mgahinga National Parks. The permit allows you to spend one hour with a habituated gorilla family. It includes park entry fees, a ranger guide, and tourism police services for your safety. Please note that permits are date-specific, and once issued, they cannot be used for a different date. Be sure to schedule your trek accordingly!
We’ll guide you through the process of booking your permit well in advance to ensure you get your desired trekking dates. Once booked, we’ll take care of collecting your permit from the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and securely store it until your trekking day.
Flying into Kigali, Rwanda or Entebbe, Uganda
We offer flexible options for travelers, allowing you to choose either Kigali (Rwanda) or Entebbe (Uganda) as your entry point. Kigali is often preferred for its proximity to Bwindi, which helps avoid long drives from Entebbe. Whether you fly into Entebbe or Kigali, we’ll handle all your airport transfers and transport to Bwindi, ensuring a seamless start to your safari.
