Permits
Gorillas, chimpanzees and golden monkeys can only be tracked with a permit issued by the Uganda Wildlife Authority. We secure yours, put it in your name, and build the driving days around it.
Hike through the forest with UWA rangers to spend time beside a habituated mountain gorilla family. Standard treks and longer habituation experiences are both available — we match the right one to your dates.
1–4 hours with the family
Kibale holds the densest primate population in East Africa. Standard tracking and full-day habituation experiences both run from Kanyanchu.
1–4 hours with the family
Bright, fast and endemic to the Virunga bamboo belt. The easiest primate permit to add to a Mgahinga gorilla day.
1 hour with the family
Permits are the one part of a Uganda trip you cannot leave until the last minute. Here is how we handle it.
Every permit is tied to one named person on one tracking day, so we start from your travel window.
Gorilla permits sell out months ahead in June–September and December–February. We confirm what is actually open.
The Uganda Wildlife Authority issues each permit against a passport, so we need a scan per trekker to file it.
Once paid, UWA issues the permit and we arrange the drive and the pre-dawn transfer to the trailhead.
Rates shown are the Uganda Wildlife Authority tariff for foreign non-residents, per person, and exclude our service and transport. UWA reviews its tariff periodically — we confirm the current rate and availability in writing before you pay.
About us
It all started in Uganda, when the Ebola outbreak brought uncertainty and kept most travelers away. That's when two people from different worlds crossed paths and together set off to explore the country.
By the end of the trip, the two had become friends, with a shared idea: Bengo Tours, born to rebuild confidence in Uganda and show the world it is as welcoming as ever.
Today, every itinerary is scouted in person, every car is serviced by our own team, and every guest is treated like a friend joining the trip.
