Rushaga gorillas & gorilla permits

Rushaga gorillas & gorilla permits – We help you secure the Gorilla permits

Rushaga gorillas & gorilla permits – Rushaga sector is another popular and Gorilla trial head for Gorilla tracking in the Southern part of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Rushaga Gorilla permits are always available for Gorilla tracking every day just like any other Gorilla tracking sector and all those interested in tracking Rushaga Gorillas should book them in advance as they are so competitive and they sell out quickly on first come first serve. Great Adventure Safaris is one of the leading tour operators customizing Gorilla tracking holidays to Rushaga sector of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and we provide detailed and updated relevant information about Rushaga Gorilla tracking.

Habituated Gorilla families in Nkuringo sector

Rushaga sector has eight habituated Mountain Gorilla families which are Muchunguzi, Businge, Kahunge, Rwigi, Kutu, Mishaya, Nshongi and Bweza Gorilla families. There is the ninth Gorilla family called Bikingi which is a semi-habituation Gorilla family and only for the four hours Gorilla Habituation experience. Each Gorilla family in Rushaga sector is visited by a maximum of eight visitors daily and as such only sixty four people can book the Rushaga Gorilla permits to track the Bwindi Rushaga Mountain Gorillas every day, and only four people for Gorilla Habituation Experience per day.

Booking Rushaga Gorilla Permits

There are sixty four Gorilla permits in Rushaga sector allowing a maximum of sixty four visitors to track Rushaga Gorillas per day. Rushaga Gorilla permits are booked through Uganda Wildlife Authority head offices in Kampala, but Great Adventure Safaris has an official permission to access Uganda Wildlife Authority online permit data base to check availability of Rushaga Gorilla permits. When you contact Great Adventure Safaris about your Gorilla tracking trip, we will check availability of Gorilla permits in all sectors including Rushaga sector. Once we find availability we will then book and hold your Rushaga Gorilla permit until you effect payment. Uganda Wildlife Authority allows Great Adventure Safaris and other authorised Uganda tour operators to hold these booked permits for seven working days in which we send you an invoice to effect payment and we forward it to Uganda Wildlife Authority and pay for your Gorilla permits. After this we will then send you scanned copies of the Gorilla permit receipt and then pick your Gorilla permit cards on your behalf closer to your tracking date. On the day you start your safari, your driver guide will be having your Gorilla permit cards and he will still help you the next day to choose a Gorilla family of your choice. Kindly note that Great Adventure Safaris does not book Rushaga gorillas & Gorilla permits only, we only book Gorilla permits for clients who book an all-inclusive Gorilla safaris and tours where we arrange and organize all services including transport and all transfers to and from Rushaga region, accommodation and meals and all park entry fees. With this we are sure and confident that all will be fine once you are in our hands. Great Adventure Safaris offers the most affordable Gorilla tracking rates and prices that are un-beaten.

Accessing Rushaga sector

Rushaga region is located in the southern part of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in Kisoro district. It can be accessed from Entebbe International Airport by air with daily scheduled flights which operate from Entebbe International Airport to Kisoro Airfield and if driving it will take you 9-10 hours on the road. Rushaga can also be accessed from Kigali-Rwanda and this makes the drive short with 4-5 hours driving from Kigali for those who wish to visit Rushaga Gorilla tracking sector when they fly to Kigali International Airport. Many tourists choose to fly from Entebbe International Airport to Kisoro Airfield which takes 1-2 hours and then drive to Rushaga for 2 hours. Rushaga Gorillas & gorilla permits are also popular with Rwanda tour operators as tourists who would fly to via Kigali and trek Uganda Gorillas in Rushaga a popular destination for those who pass through Rwanda due to the fact that while many are avoiding tracking Rwanda Gorillas because of the hiked price of Rwanda Gorilla permits which are at USD1500 per person per trek, they still prefer flying to Kigali International Airport and trek Rushaga Gorillas in order to reduce on the drive time.

Nkuringo Gorilla Lodges and Campsites

For those who book Rushaga Gorilla permits and Rushaga Gorilla trips, we recommend that you book Lodges in Rushaga sector and at worst stay in Nkuringo area. Great Adventure Safaris recommend that you book at Rushaga Gorilla Lodge, Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge, Rushaga Gorilla Camp, Rushaga Gorilla Haven Lodge, Gorilla Safari Lodge and Four Gorillas Lodge. These lodges are closer to the starting point and as such give you all the time to have your breakfast and then proceed to the briefing point and then your Gorilla trek in the jungle of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.

Those interested in tracking Bwndi Gorillas in Rushaga sector contact Great Adventure Safaris at least three months in advance since Gorilla permits tend to sell out quickly. Once contacted, we will make sure we book and secure your Gorilla permit in advance and confirm you Gorilla Safari.
