Frequently Asked Safari Questions
Everything you need to know before embarking on your East African primate and wildlife adventure.
As of recent official updates, a gorilla trekking permit in Uganda costs $800 USD for foreign non-residents. This permit secures your entry into Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and contributes directly to gorilla conservation efforts handled by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA).
The best time to visit is during the dry seasons: from June to August and December to February. During these months, wildlife is easier to spot around water sources, and the forest trails for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking are ideal.
Yes! All Valverde Safaris packages include seamless airport pickups and drop-offs at Entebbe International Airport. Your dedicated local safari guide meets you upon arrival and ensures you are comfortably transferred.
Yes, to protect both primates and visitors, the strict minimum age for gorilla trekking is 15 years old. For chimpanzee tracking, the minimum age is 12 years old. Children under these ages are warmly welcomed on standard wildlife game drives.
Because the Uganda Wildlife Authority issues a strictly limited number of gorilla permits per day to protect the families, we recommend booking your safari 6 to 12 months in advance—especially for the peak dry seasons of June–August and December–February.
