Editorial Policy

We publish informational content about gorilla trekking, safari planning, permits, logistics, and trip preparation in East Africa. We do not publish booking confirmations, legal advice, personal medical advice, or binding immigration determinations.

For prices, access rules, park policies, and permit mechanics, we prioritize official wildlife authorities, tourism boards, park operators, and government travel advisories. Operator websites, traveler reports, and forums may help us identify gaps, but they do not outrank official sources for factual claims.

Operator websites, lodge pages, maps, and on-the-ground input can help us understand route mechanics, transfer times, or where travelers are likely to get confused. That kind of input can shape planning guidance, but it does not override official sources for permit prices, visa rules, park policies, or government safety advisories.

We review pages when official rates change, when park rules are updated, or when we identify stale guidance. When a page has been materially updated, we revise the visible updated date and the structured metadata for that page.

When we confirm a factual error, we correct it as quickly as practical and update the page. If a claim cannot be verified with sufficient confidence, we remove it, qualify it clearly, or point readers to the official source instead of presenting speculation as fact.

Gorilla Planner may connect readers with licensed operators, but editorial content is not built around a guaranteed booking outcome. Partner relationships do not determine our country comparisons, permit guidance, or route recommendations. Our goal is to help readers compare countries, costs, and logistics with clear sourcing, even when that means highlighting limits or uncertainty.
