Because the circumstances in the Democratic Republic of Congo are unstable currently, there is a very high demand for Mountain Gorilla Permits within Uganda throughout the year.
To track gorillas, one must be 15 and above years-of-age. The Permits can be got for the 2 parks – Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park plus Mgahinga Gorilla Park.

This is because Uganda has knowledgeable and experienced ranger guides who always feed the necessary information hence making safaris informative and enjoyable.
