About Gorilla Planner

Last updated: April 12, 2026

Gorilla Planner is an independent research and trip-planning publisher focused on gorilla trekking and related wildlife trips in East Africa. We help travelers understand permit costs, country tradeoffs, route logic, and operator fit before they enter a sales conversation.

What Gorilla Planner is

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.

What we help readers do

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.

How operators fit into the site

When a reader requests a quote, Gorilla Planner may route that inquiry to a licensed third-party operator that looks appropriate for the brief. The operator, not Gorilla Planner, handles live availability, final pricing, payment, and any booking contract. That means our editorial content and any commercial handoff are separate things. Reading the site does not create a booking relationship with us.

How we stay independent

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.

Corrections and contact

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.
