2. Guaranteed Gorilla Permits (UWA Licensed)
Securing a Uganda gorilla trekking permit during peak season (June–September) can be stressful. We handle the entire procurement process directly with the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). Once you confirm, your permit is purchased immediately, and you receive written confirmation of your date, park sector, and gorilla family.
3. Travel That Transforms (Conservation & Community)
We are proud partners of the Nakiganda Bernadette Foundation. Every booking automatically contributes $10 directly to providing scholastic materials and school fees for underprivileged children in communities bordering Bwindi and Kibale. Your safari protects wildlife and empowers the next generation.

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park: Home to one habituated family (Nyakagezi). Offers a more rugged, volcanic landscape experience.
