East African Visa: I’m still unclear how to get this!

There are just over 1000 mountain gorillas left in the world today.

In order to trek gorillas, you need to purchase a permit from the Uganda Wildlife Authority. The standard permit allows you to spend one hour with the gorillas, and the majority of the money goes directly to conservation, with a small amount going to the local community.

By purchasing a permit you’re directly supporting the conservation of the gorillas, protecting the gorillas from poachers, and helping with invaluable research.

If gorilla trekking in Uganda wasn’t a thing, there'd likely be no more gorillas left in the wild. In 2018, they were moved from critically endangered to endangered. This is a huge step forward, and has been made possible by the thousands who visit them every year.  - Brilliant-Uganda
