About Gorilla Planner

We are a publisher and planning resource built around high-friction gorilla-trip questions. We are not a tour operator, destination management company, or booking platform. We do not sell permits, take traveler deposits, or run trips ourselves.

We publish comparisons, permit guides, route ideas, and planning pages covering visas, safety, health, packing, and safari add-ons. The goal is simple: help readers move from vague research to a workable Uganda or Rwanda plan with fewer bad assumptions.

When a reader requests a quote, Gorilla Planner currently routes suitable Uganda and Rwanda requests to Adroa Travels, a tour operator licensed by the Uganda Tourism Board. This is a commercial relationship, and it is disclosed wherever the partner appears. The operator, not Gorilla Planner, handles live availability, permit purchase, final pricing, payment, and any booking contract. That means our editorial content and any commercial handoff are separate things. Reading the site or sending a quote request does not create a booking with us, and it does not hold a gorilla permit.

Gorilla Planner earns from its commercial relationship with Adroa Travels and from affiliate links. Some safari and itinerary pages link to GetYourGuide or Viator; those links are marked as paid links, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. A Stay22 hotel affiliate script loads only after you accept advertising cookies. These relationships do not change the official facts on our pages. Prices and rules come from wildlife authorities and governments, and partner or third-party claims are labelled as such.

We try to explain tradeoffs clearly rather than pushing one country, itinerary, or budget level by default. If the cleaner answer is Uganda, Rwanda, wait for better permit timing, or verify a claim before spending money, that is what we aim to say. When official information is incomplete or changing, we surface the uncertainty instead of smoothing it over.

If you spot an error, stale price, or broken source, contact us and include the page URL plus the official document or page that should replace it. For methodology and update standards, see our Editorial Policy and How We Verify Prices pages.
