Frequently Asked Questions

Are gorilla and chimp permits included in all packages?
Yes — every package listed above includes all relevant trekking permits. The Uganda gorilla permit costs $800 per person and the chimpanzee permit $250 per person. These are fully included in your quoted total. We handle all permit bookings and reservations on your behalf — you don't need to arrange anything separately.
What does the total price cover?
Each price shown is a fully inclusive per-person cost based on 2 travellers sharing a vehicle and accommodation. It covers: private 4×4 vehicle, driver-guide fees, all fuel for the entire route, accommodation for all nights, all listed activity and trekking permits, park entry fees, and all transfers. What it doesn't cover: international flights, Uganda visa, travel insurance, personal drinks, and gratuities.
When is the best time to go gorilla and chimp trekking?
Uganda can be visited year-round — gorilla encounters are virtually guaranteed regardless of season (99%+ encounter rate). The dry seasons (June–September and December–February) give the most comfortable trekking conditions. The green season (March–May and October–November) offers fewer crowds, lusher forest scenery, and can provide better photography opportunities.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes — we offer flexible payment plans over 3, 6, or 12 months with no interest or hidden fees. Your permits and accommodation are secured once your full balance is paid. Contact us by email or WhatsApp to set up a payment schedule that suits your budget. Travel when your plan is complete — on your own timeline.
Is Uganda safe for international tourists?
Uganda is widely regarded as one of East Africa's safest safari destinations. National parks are well-secured by Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. Kampala is a safe, increasingly modern city. All Roam Beyond tours include experienced local guides with deep knowledge of both wildlife and travel logistics. Our team provides 24/7 WhatsApp support while you're on tour.
How fit do I need to be for gorilla trekking?
Gorilla trekking can range from a 1-hour walk to a full-day hike depending on where the gorilla family is located that day. A moderate level of fitness is recommended. Porters are available to help carry bags and provide support. Age minimum is 15 years. Our driver-guides will brief you fully on what to expect before your trek begins.

Ready to meet the gorillas?

Our local experts are available 7 days a week to build your perfect Uganda primate safari — custom itineraries, group tours, and solo packages all welcome. Permits sell out fast: book early to secure your preferred dates.
