Mountain gorilla permits in Bwindi are limited and sell out months ahead. Mention them on our first call and I will build the whole trip around the permit date.
When to come
Uganda is green all year. The drier months are easier for forest walks and long drives.

Drier: easiest for chimp and gorilla treks
Wetter: greener, quieter parks, muddier trails
Discounted permits
Good to knowGorilla and chimp permits are discounted in April, May and November 2027. Fewer visitors, greener forests and a lower price: a good time to come if you do not mind some rain.
