The rainforests of south western Uganda is home to about half of the worlds last remaining mountain gorillas, and this safari takes you for a very special wildlife encounter with these magnificent apes in their natural habitat. We also enjoy game drives and boat rides to see other fascinating wildlife, and explore the beautiful terraced hillsides of Uganda, dotted with picturesque lakes and rural landscapes.
Please note that gorilla permits are paid for at the time of confirming your booking.

TOUR STYLE:
Short Safari & Treks
This Short Safaris & Treks tour is operated by a locally based (African) ground handler. We believe that working with a local operator in this way assists the community to benefit in a sustainable way from tourism. At the same time it provides our clients with the extensive local knowledge and enthusiasm of the local staff and guides employed to ensure your safari is as enjoyable as it is memorable
GORILLA PERMITS:
The Uganda Wildlife Authority imposes strict regulations regarding the gorilla trekking permits. One of these is that permits must be booked and paid in advance. In order for us to do this we must collect your permit money, in addition to your normal deposit, at the time of booking. Like your deposit, the permit money is not refundable if you cancel your tour. The Gorilla Permits currently (September 2015) cost US$600.00 per person. Please ask your agent or Acacia for the equivalent amount in your own currency.
