Primate Planning Guidance

Are gorilla and chimpanzee tracking permits guaranteed?
Yes, they are [1]. Because daily tracking passes are strictly capped by park authorities, we purchase your official permits directly from the Uganda Wildlife Authority immediately upon deposit confirmation [1].
What is the minimum age for primate tracking?
The official minimum age for mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi is 15 years, and for chimpanzee tracking in Kibale, the minimum age is 12 years. These rules are strictly enforced [1].
What are the flight luggage limits?
Domestic flights maintain a strict limit of 15kg (33lbs) per guest, packed in soft-sided duffle bags [1]. Excess bag storage is provided safely at Entebbe if needed [1].
