Gorilla trekking updates for 2026: what to recheck before you travel
Gorilla trekking updates for 2026 matter because entry rules, health notices and park terms can change between booking and travel. This short page lists what to recheck, and where to find the official source. It was last reviewed in October 2026.
Why gorilla trekking updates matter
Your permit is booked months ahead, yet the rules around it can move. Park terms, visa processes and health notices all have their own owners. Gorilla trekking updates therefore deserve a check shortly before you fly, not only when you book.
Five things to recheck before you fly
- Entry and visa rules. Check the official government sites for Uganda and Rwanda.
- Health notices. Look at your own government's travel advice and each country's health ministry.
- Park terms. Ask us for the current change and cancellation rules in writing.
- Trail conditions. Rain and road works can change transfer times.
- Your documents. Passport names must match your permit exactly.
