Uganda Gorilla Permit Price to be slashed Twice a Year.

Before you set off on your Mountain Gorilla Tracking (Trekking) Safari:

Be in reasonable shape and have no communicable diseases or cold or flu.

Be at least 15 years of age.

Always wash your hands before you head out to the gorillas.

Wear appropriate clothing since it is often cool there, a jacket might be helpful, a light backpack where you can put your packed lunch, proper boots to support your ankles.

The Mountain Gorilla Tracking Experience

Up to 8 visitors are allowed on a tracking (trekking) team since more would disturb the Mountain Gorilla group you are visiting.  It also limits the Mountain Gorillas exposure to illnesses that humans may have.

As you travel through the forest keep your conversations low, silence might be the best since otherwise you might miss other wildlife or the abundance of birds found at Bwindi or Mgahinga Gorilla Park.

Pack it in and pack it out.  Do not leave anything behind such as rubbish since it would spoil it for the next visitors.

Your Mountain Gorilla Tracking experience will begin where the guides found your Gorilla group the day before and track them to their new location since they move daily.

In the Presence of Mountain Gorillas

Keep a distance of about 5 meters which is about 15 feet from the Mountain Gorillas.  This way you protect the mountain gorillas from a diseases and illnesses humans may be carrying.

Stay together as a group when you are in the presence of the Gorillas.

Voices need to be kept low and it is best to keep silence and just treasure the moment with the Mountain Gorillas.

Do not partake of food or drinks in the presence of the Mountain Gorillas.

No flash photography is permitted.  Do not make a lot of movement when taking pictures-keep it calm.

There is no touching or attempting to touch the Gorillas.

Keep your voices down until you are well out of range of the Mountain Gorillas.

Health Guide Lines:

Since Mountain Gorillas are closely related to us they are susceptible to diseases carried by humans.

If you not well, let it be known and remove yourself from the gorilla tracking team.

If you need to cough, sneeze, blow your nose, move your head away from the gorilla in order to keep the risk of infection to a minimum.

No smoking, eating of food or drinking of beverages is allowed in the presence of the Mountain Gorillas.
