Good to know

Age restriction: Only children 15 years of age and up are allowed to join on the gorilla trekking.

The trekking tin search of the mountain gorillas has an adventurous character. Since the animals roam freely, you may expect that spotting the group of gorillas can take anywhere from an hour to half a day. A good physical condition, great stamina and endurance as well as adapted footwear are essential. The terrain can be difficult and slippery depending on the weather. The level of effort and degree of exertion varies from average to high. Please make sure you take this into account.

For a surcharge of €179/pp sharing you travel along the itinerary in a 4x4 jeep with more legroom and comfort.

Payments methods

Bring cash Dollars (small notes) Credit cards are convenient and widely accepted and ATMs are readily available.

Tipping:
Tipping is important and customary in Africa as it forms an integral part of the wages. Some guidelines: Foresee €2/pers./day for your guide and driver. Restaurants usually expect a 10%-15% tip (if not automatically charged to your bill). In lodge you leave 5USD a day for the cleaning staff, and the bellman is happy with 1USD a suitcase. Adapt as you see.

Climate

Uganda is a perfect year-round holiday destinations. The rainy seasons last from March till May with rain peaks in April which make roads impassable and trails used for Chimp tracking more slippery & from August to November with peaks in November. Mind you rainy season does not necessarily mean it will rain all day long. Often it indicated a heavy but short downpour of rain followed by sunshine and pleasant temperatures. Dry season January & February, June & July.
