Do I Need to Book a Gorilla Permit in Advance?

Travelers are recommended that they book a gorilla permit at least 6 months earlier in advance, especially if you are to trek gorillas in Uganda in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park & Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Rwanda in Volcanoes National Park or the Democratic Republic of Congo in Virunga National Park and Kahuzi Biega National Park during peak seasons of June ,July, August, and December, January & February. It is important to note that the demand for gorilla permits always exceeds the number of permits available each day, especially during high season.

If you are planning your Gorilla safari during the 'low seasons' of March-May and October to November (the rainiest months), booking your gorilla permit 4 months earlier can be good-although you may be able to confirm a space a month in advance of your trip.

The earlier you book, the more choices you have on the various gorilla trekking regions where to track and but also you will have a wide range safari lodges for your accommodation where to stay during your gorilla safari in Rwanda, Uganda or Congo which are equally very competitive during the high season if not booked in advance. Last-minute booking may be possible during low seasons or were just one or two people are tracking but Congo, Rwanda and Uganda gorilla trekking permit availability is not guaranteed if you are to book at last minute.
