The best time to book a gorilla trekking tour for your Easter holidays
The best time to book your gorilla trekking tour during the Easter holidays is at least two weeks ahead of time. The best way to make sure you don't miss out on things like gorilla permits is to plan your gorilla trek at least a year in advance.
You can only use a gorilla permit on the day you bought for it. It can't be used again after that date. Endeavor to go on the day of hike. If you have this gorilla permit, you can spend only 1 hour with a family of mountain gorillas that you know. During this hour, you can take both still shots and short films.
You'll also hear interesting things that your guide says about the gorillas and their environment. There is also a field guide and a tourism police officer to make sure you are safe in the bush. This Uganda Wildlife Authority guard will probably have an AK-47 with them to scare away any dangerous wild animals that might show up along the way.
