Gorilla Trekking Permits and Lodge Coordination
Rwanda’s gorilla trekking permits are issued by the Rwanda Development Board at a fixed daily count and a rate that reflects the country’s positioning as a premium gorilla trekking destination. The permit allocation must be coordinated with the lodge stay, since the tracking day starts from the park headquarters at Kinigi and the lodges are positioned to reach that starting point at the appropriate hour. Missing the permit’s assigned day requires a full re-booking rather than a simple rescheduling.
A bespoke itinerary designer for Rwanda coordinates the permits and the lodge stay together as a single unit. Benarrivati Africa arranges these permit-lodge combinations drawing on direct familiarity with the process and the properties involved.
