What is a gorilla permit?

What exactly is a gorilla permit and why do you need one?

A gorilla permit is a ticket that admits one into either Bwindi National Park in Uganda, Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda or Virunga National Park in DRC to visit with the gorillas. These gorilla permits are a hot item especially during the peak travel months of June, July, August, September, December and January. We therefore recommend that you contact us early enough with your gorilla trip requirements so that we purchase your gorilla permits for you well in advance before they sell out.  Upon purchase of your gorilla permit, we shall send you copies of the same and you will receive the originals of your gorilla permits on arrival to Uganda, Rwanda and DRC.
