Reservation
You are always advised to book your Gorilla permit at least three months in advance due to high demand most especially in the high season. Gorilla permits also tend to sell out quickly since more tourist track mountain Gorillas in Uganda since Rwanda doubled the price of its mountain Gorilla permit to USD1500.
The same applies to all other safaris whether directly booked from the website or tailor made.

A maximum number of 8 people are allowed to trek or visit a given Gorilla family in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Mgahinga Gorilla and Volcanoes National Parks. Bwindi National Park has about 16 habituated Gorilla families and thus each family is allowed only 8 people/trackers per day for one hour. Sometimes Park management is forced to have more than 8 people depending on circumstances on ground. If such happens, the park authorities will explain. When it comes to Gorilla habituation, its only 4 people that are around to spend four hours with Mountain Gorillas under habituation.
