Gorilla trekking is subject to permit availability and official park regulations. Travellers must be physically prepared for uneven, potentially muddy forest terrain. The operator’s published package page currently shows the inclusion and exclusion headings without itemised details; all permits, meals and entrance fees must therefore be reconfirmed with Zohar African Safaris before the package is made live.
