Practical planning tips
Permits & timing: Gorilla permits (Rwanda/Uganda/DRC) sell out-book early. Peak dry months (June–Sep, Dec–Feb) give best wildlife viewing.
Health & safety: Speak with a travel clinic about vaccinations and malaria prevention before travelling. If you’re ill, gorilla parks enforce strict regulations to protect animals.
Travel style: For minimal road time, choose light aircraft transfers between parks; for budget-friendly options, road transfers work well.
Packing: Layers for cool mornings, strong sun protection, binoculars, and a good camera with a telephoto lens.
Responsible & romantic tourism
We carefully select operators, camps and lodges that support conservation and local communities. Responsible travel protects the wildlife you came to see – and makes your honeymoon meaningful.
