Gorillas and Chimpanzees are Vulnerable to Human Disease
It’s advisable to be free of any visibly contagious diseases if you are participating in gorilla trekking Uganda & chimpanzee trekking and you will be checked at the start of the trekking by the Park Authorities. If they are not sure of your condition or in any doubt of your condition, they will stop you from trekking. This is to protect the primates from contracting an illness or disease from humans. We advise you to inform your safari guide early if you are not sure about this aspect, our tour guides will seek advice as to the best way to manage the situation. Gorillas and Chimpanzees are highly vulnerable to human diseases including flu and colds. You should remain at least seven meters away from these Apes. Visitors on a gorilla trekking Uganda are advised to immediately and slowly retreat back to five meters if the gorilla approaches you to about two or three meters in this way you will help to minimize disease transmission from human to Mountain gorillas & Chimps. This practice will also help to reduce stress and behavioral disturbance to primates. If above practices are not followed, this may increase the chance of possible future aggression towards tourists and Gorillas will become too habituated to humans kind which might be dangerous as gorillas will be much vulnerable to poachers. We kindly ask tourists to adhere to any gorilla trekking rules given by National park authority and to follow game rangers advice during the trekking.

How difficult is Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking.
We always advice our clients to be prepared in high gear as gorilla tracking timings and conditions vary. Be prepared by being physically fit because Gorilla trekking may take between 2-9 hours of hiking in hot, high altitude condition. Chimpanzee tracking still requires a good level of fitness though is generally not as hard compared to gorilla trek but you still need to be fit because you need to follow the chimps which can move swiftly through the forest? Visitors on gorilla trekking Uganda will be guided through the forest to track rare mountain gorilla or chimpanzees by a Uganda Wildlife Authority guide whom they will meet early in the morning for briefing at the departure point in the morning of their trek. Your personal safari guide from Four Crane Safaris can help you to get and book a porter who are from the local community and are used to the local conditions and they can assist you to carry your few important items and assist to push, pulling and supporting you where necessary during the gorilla trekking in the jungle so that you can track without heavy load and this is a service of an additional fee above your gorilla trekking Uganda, normally you should budget between USD15-USD20 per porter per day

What is the age limit for tracking Gorilla and Chimpanzee in Uganda?
This is the question frequently asked by gorilla trackers when planning for gorilla trekking Uganda. Some travellers end up buying gorilla trekking permits for teenagers who are under the age of 15. This normally occurs when there is no proper advice and guiding from a tour company or if you are dealing with unreliable safari operator. Giving the reason that tracking gorillas is difficult and it needs some good level of fitness; the authorities have set the age limit for gorilla tracking and golden monkey trekking to 15 years. Note that the authorities are very strict on this, so kindly make sure all travellers interested for the gorilla trekking safari are 15 years or older in order to avoid any sad inconveniences like guest(s) kids being refused to embark on journey of tracking! On other side, because tracking Chimps does not require much fitness compared to gorilla, The age limit for trekking chimpanzees is 12 years old that means Children under 15 years are allowed.
