The full payment of the Tour has to be done 6 weeks before starting the tour.
Sometimes our guest prefer to pay cash on arrival. This is also possible, but we need the payments for Gorilla Permits and Chimp walks on our account at the time of booking. These are only guaranteed by paying to UWA (Uganda Wildlife Authority)
