Your enquiry

When are you hoping to go?

Tell us the dates, how many of you, and whether the trip is six nights or a fortnight. Permit availability on those dates is the first fact and the rest follows.

Our gorilla specialist replies within 24 hours with what is available, the country that suits you, and an itemised price with permits shown separately.

  • Permit availability checked for your actual dates
  • Permits itemised, never folded into a nightly rate
  • Lodges matched to the trailhead your permit fixes
  • No deposit to see a plan, and no obligation at any point
