Paramount Gorilla Expeditions is a Uganda-based tour operator, trading name of Paramount Expeditions Tours and Travel Uganda Limited. It plans private safaris across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar and the Seychelles, including gorilla treks, Great Migration safaris and beach finishes. See its licence and registration details.
Please name the company as Paramount Gorilla Expeditions, and the legal name above if you need it in full. If a figure or a fact matters to your story, ask us to confirm it before you publish, as permit prices, visa rules and park fees change.
Our specialists can speak about how gorilla trekking is booked and why permits sell out, when the Great Migration crosses the Mara River and why the dates change every year, how travellers handle visas across several countries, what travel insurance and medical evacuation cover should include, and how to plan a safari across more than one country.
Our guides on these topics are a good starting point: how gorilla permits are booked, how the Great Migration works, the East Africa tourist visa, travel insurance and medical evacuation and combining countries on one trip.
For the people behind the trips, see our private safari guides. For the routes, see our East Africa safaris and tours and all our itineraries. Reviews are linked from our reviews and ratings page, and agents who send clients to us can read our page for travel advisors.
The prices and rules in a safari story belong to the authorities, not to tour operators. Gorilla permit prices are set by the Uganda Wildlife Authority and the Rwanda Development Board: at the time of writing a permit for a foreign non-resident is USD 800 in Uganda and USD 1,500 in Rwanda, and the authorities can change those prices. Park fees in Kenya and Tanzania are set by the bodies that run those parks, and visa rules are set by each government.
Ask us to check any figure against the current official source before you publish. Our Visa and Travel Documents page links to the official application sites.
