Aside from being involved in the activities within the gorilla habitats, you can change the ambiance and have a wildlife viewing or game drive in any of the other parks. Game drives are literally different from Gorilla trekking including hiking in the wild. For game drives, you are driven through the park trails in search of wildlife that you view through the car. It’s one way to relax from the trek before getting back on long-distance travel. The best parks to include for a Luxury Gorilla trekking/Long Gorilla Safari in Uganda include Queen Elizabeth National Park. Murchison Falls National Park, Kidepo Valley National Park, and Lake Mburo National Park. These are the best parks for classic game drives to include on your Gorilla safari in Uganda. Other than having a game drive, you can also involve in activities like white water rafting, cultural tours, or a city tour.

How to Book Luxury Gorilla trekking Permits in Uganda: To book your gorilla permits independently, you can do so through the below channel. To buy your Uganda trekking Gorilla Permit, you need to do this via the Ugandan Wildlife Authority (UWA) either in person at the office in Kampala-Uganda, via email, or by telephone (So Kabira Safaris shall always be the office in Kampala – Uganda to offer you this Service). Once they confirm your permit, you then make a bank transfer to the UWA. In Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, there are 4 locations, Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo, so just be aware that it is best to book your permit close to where you will stay (as it’s quite far and expensive to travel between locations, especially as the treks start at 8 am). They only issue permits from the Kampala office, so if booking yourself, you will need to pick up your permits in Kampala. This is fine unless you were planning on flying into Kigali as this would mean a very long trip out of your way, so you’re the best flying into Entebbe and/or passing through Kampala overland. If booking via a Local Tour company or on a tour, this isn’t an issue as they will pick up your permits for you. – Kabira Safaris & Tours!
