Frequently asked questions
Why trek gorillas twice?
Each family behaves differently and the two parks feel very different. Many travellers find a second trek calmer because they know what to expect.
Is this trip suitable for photographers?
Yes. The extra days give you several chances to find good light and varied subjects.
Is the gorilla permit included?
Yes. We buy your permit for your chosen date once we have confirmed it with the park.
Can the dates and lodges be changed?
Yes. Every trip is a starting point, and we adapt it to your dates, group and comfort level.
