Good To Know

Not recommended for pregnant travelers
Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health

It is ideal to book at least 3-6 months in advance as gorilla permits are in very high demand.
+/- 2 weeks flexibility on your preferred dates as permits for specific dates may not be available.
Prepare for the physical and mental strain. The ten day trip is exhilarating but can also be physically and mentally draining (very early mornings, long drives, long hikes, new food, often no cell signal or internet access, constantly on the move, varying accommodation conditions and on rare occasions, no hot showers).
