Is the gorilla permit guaranteed to result in a sighting?
Success rates are very high (95%+), though gorillas are wild animals and sightings are never 100% guaranteed.
How physically demanding is the trek?
It varies from a fairly easy walk to a strenuous multi-hour hike depending on where the gorilla family has moved that day; a porter is recommended for less-fit trekkers.
Can I extend this to include chimpanzee trekking?
Yes, ask about combining this with a Kibale Forest chimpanzee trekking extension.
