specifics on how to handle gorilla filming permissions
An person or filmmaking firm needs gorilla filming licenses to access or be permitted to perform the filming while shooting mountain gorillas. Mountain gorillas are not found in many nations, hence for anyone planning any filming of mountain gorillas in their natural environment only Uganda, Rwanda, and Democratic Republic of Congo provide three choices.
Of the three nations, we advise shooting in Uganda and Rwanda, where the two powerful leaders, Mr Yoweri Museveni and Paul Kagame, have maintained relative peace and stability. Good filming techniques and well-established conservation initiatives for mountain gorillas abound in Uganda and Rwanda.
If you wish to film mountain gorillas in Rwanda, you must have gorilla filming permissions provided by Rwanda Development Board or Uganda Wildlife Authority. This is thus because the two organizations in charge of mountain gorilla national parks in either Uganda Wildife Authority or Rwanda Development Board are respectively Whereas Volcanoes National Park is in Rwanda, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park are in Uganda.
Families of habituated mountain gorillas living in these three National Parks are easily available for shooting. Working with you on processing gorilla shooting permissions for your organization will help Katland safaris to allow you to film mountain gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda.
Any firm wishing to get gorilla filming licenses for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga National Park must sign a memorandum of understanding with Uganda wildlife Authority in Uganda. Since Katland safaris is a local destination business, it can help you get gorilla filming permissions for either Uganda or Rwanda.
We will email you an official form from Uganda Wildlife Authority, which you will have to complete, scan, and submit back to us so we may proceed. Uganda Wildlife Authority will therefore project the expenses of shooting from this perspective.
It will take about four working days to get your gorilla filming licenses from Uganda Wildife Authority. You will also need to provide a cover letter stating that you have authorised Katland safaris to act on your behalf in processing your gorilla filming permits.
Apart from gorilla shooting licenses, media cards, clearing your filming equipment into Uganda via customs, reserving accommodation and transportation are other needs. Katland safaris is pleased to arrange all this on your behalf.
