Book Carefully
Careful travelers should expect clear documentation, honest permit guidance, and written payment steps. We welcome those questions because they protect both the traveler and the route.
Ask for a written itinerary with inclusions, exclusions, and payment milestones.
Confirm gorilla permit timing before locking lodge and transfer plans.
Check that the operator can explain routing, sectors, and realistic transfer distances.
Use documented payment steps and keep invoices or receipts for every payment.
