Tips and Notes:
- On the trail guests often feel tired on the way up and must drink plenty of water; exhaustion will vanish once the gorillas have been spotted!
- Gorilla's are difficult to photograph due to their sunken eyes, gloomy habitat and jet black skins; unless an experienced phtographer, a few quick shots should suffice - then enjoy the moments for what they are.
- Any infectious illnesses could kill off an entire family of gorilla's therefore guests are requested not to approach gorilla's if they have colds, flu which could be passed on
- No tourist has ever been maimed by a habituated gorilla but there is always a danger. Only very experienced guides are used and should be listened to at all times.
- The safari starts and finishes in Kampala, Uganda.
- ALL FARES AND TAXES ARE SUBJECT TO INCREASE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE AND AT THE DISCRETION OF THE AIRLINES AND GOVERNMENT. ALL FARES ARE SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY IN THE CORRECT BOOKING CLASSES AT THE TIME OF MAKING THE RESERVATION
