Christian
Asked on October 12th, 2023My team is traveling to Kampala for work for two weeks. We are looking to do a Gorilla trek on our free weekend. We could either do 8-10 December 2023 or 9-11 December. There are 4 of us traveling, but depending on budget, we may only be 2 people. Could you provide a quote for either 2 people or 4 people? Also, could you provide quotes for traveling from Kampala by car and by airplane to Kihihi?
Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written October 2023We do not have any available departures in December 2023 for the 6-day Gorilla Encounter Adventure Camping Tour. The next scheduled departure date is 09 January 2024, but not yet Guaranteed.

Asked on August 7th, 2023I am 46 years old but would like to do the 6 days camping trip. Can there be an exception with my age?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written August 2023
You certainly can join the tour - we simply ask that all trekking clients have good health and are relatively fit in nature.

Asked on April 4th, 2022Where do we meet? Are we able to be picked up from a hotel in Kampala?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written April 2022
The Red Chilli is a friendly and secure, and very well established hotel. They can assist with accommodation and airport transfers from Entebbe if you wish to arrange in advance.

Traveler•Written April 2022What time should we be back on November 20th? I'm trying to decide what time we should fly out.
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written April 2022
A flight at 6.45pm on 20 Nov is too early. Check-in in Africa is usually 3 hours beforehand and it can take an hour to get to the airport from downtown Kampala, so it would really mean being packed and ready to go mid afternoon. We wont be back by then. I was thinking of a late evening flight 1130pm or so. Otherwise I'd suggest staying overnight and flying out the 21st.

Asked on February 1st, 2017Are all permit prices included in the price?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written February 2017
The permits for the gorilla and the chimpanzee represent an additional charge.

Allan
Asked on August 1st, 2016Any information about the Gorilla and Chimpanzee permits?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written August 2016
GORILLA AND CHIMPANZEE PERMITS:
The Uganda Wildlife Authority imposes strict regulations regarding the gorilla trekking permits. One of these is that permits must be booked and paid in advance. In order for us to do this we must collect your permit money, in addition to your normal deposit, at the time of booking. Like your deposit, the permit money is not refundable if you cancel your tour. On rare occasions, subject to permit availability, we may purchase trekking permits to view the gorillas in neighbouring Rwanda.
