Group gorilla safaris in Uganda –details
When considering group gorilla safaris in Uganda, several factors come into play, such as gorilla permits, accommodations, accessibility, packing lists, and more.
Gorilla safaris in Uganda occur in either Bwindi or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Both parks are located in Southwestern Uganda and are home to over half of the world’s 1063 mountain gorillas. A group gorilla tour can consist of either small or large groups. Up to eight guests can visit each gorilla family, so if you’re traveling with like-minded individuals, you can see that entire family together.
Uganda offers approximately 25 habituated gorilla families that can be tracked from locations like Ruhija, Buhoma, Rushaga, Nkuringo, and Ntebeko. Before heading out to encounter the gorillas in these spots, you will gather for a briefing.
Gorilla permits and slots
Gorilla permits are reserved based on the availability of slots. When booking a gorilla permit, tour operators verify the availability of trekking slots that align with your planned visit dates for Uganda’s gorillas. Permits are only secured for available slots, so you can go ahead and arrange your permit in advance for added safety.
I think booking a gorilla permit in Uganda ahead of time is a good idea for securing dates that fit your travel preferences for gorilla viewing. Last-minute permits can be unreliable, particularly during peak travel months. However, permits may be more accessible during the wet or off-peak months. The peak months are June, July, August, September, and December through February. The off-peak months are from March to May and October to November.
How many people can go to track gorillas?
The typical number of visitors per gorilla group is 8. Uganda can host up to 200 visitors looking to observe mountain gorillas. Each of the 25 habituated gorilla groups receives a sub-group of 8 people, guided by an experienced park ranger.
Essential tips to guide you when choosing Group tours
- You can join a group tour that interests you.
Select a group tour in Uganda that aligns with your travel goals. Avoid joining groups with differing interests, as this may lead to a less enjoyable experience. Being part of a group of like-minded travelers fosters interaction, friendship, and experience-sharing. Key considerations include matching safari activities, types of accommodation, destinations, and more. Once you identify shared travel interests, please seek more information and consider joining that trip.
- Book early
Early planning is essential. By planning your vacation well, you can achieve a successful group tour. Aim to secure permits and organize the complete group tour at least 2 to 6 months before your scheduled date to see the gorillas in Uganda. This guideline is relevant for gorilla tours and other group excursions, such as wildlife safaris or chimpanzee trekking. Booking early ensures you are well-prepared for your adventure.
- Book through a tour operator
Working with the right local tour operator can save you a significant amount. Contact Native Africa Tours to secure a group tour with fixed dates. Our reservation team can always help turn your travel dreams into reality.
- Research & be sure
Research the group’s travel dates before participating in a group tour with fixed dates. Look for a group tour that also aligns with your preferred travel dates.
- Budget
Indeed, it’s essential to consider your vacation budget carefully. If you want to join a group or choose a tour, please ensure it aligns with your financial plan. Both small group tours and large group safaris have varying costs. Before your vacation begins, confirm that you meet the criteria for any available options.
