Since only 40 permits are sold each day and only eight people are permitted to trek with each habituated gorilla family—four people are grouped to carry our habuation in this region, making it the only sector with two haburated gorilla families—it is very easy to book your permit in advance due to the variety of habituated gorilla families in this sector.

Before receiving a permit, it is advisable that you inquire about the gorilla family that interests you. Depending on your level of physical fitness, you may be able to trek more than one family in this region as the families are spread out across different areas. The rangers are aware of each family’s location.

In contrast to other places where the lodges are owned by foreign investors, the Rushaga region boasts a variety of lodges that are all owned by members of the local community. While trekking in Rushaga, you can stay the night at one of the lodges, which include Nshongi Gorilla Camp, Rushaga Gorilla Camp, Gorilla Safari Lodge, and Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge.

This will provide you with an opportunity to participate in the community and development sector in this area.
