We offer more than just trusted and affordable car rental services across Uganda and Rwanda. We understand that many of our travelers are coming to Uganda to experience one of the most sought-after wildlife encounters in the world, mountain gorilla trekking and chimpanzee tracking.
To make your adventure even smoother, we assist clients with securing gorilla permits for Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and chimpanzee permits for both Kibale Forest National Park and the scenic Kyambura Gorge in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Free Permit Booking for Car Rental Clients
For all clients who book a vehicle with us, whether it’s a 4×4 for self-drive or a car with a driver, our gorilla and chimpanzee permit booking service is completely free of charge. For travelers who may not need a car but are looking to obtain these permits, we still offer assistance for a small service fee not exceeding $50 per permit, which covers the administrative work and official processing through the Uganda Wildlife Authority.
We Partner with Go Gorilla Trekking Limited
To provide seamless and legitimate bookings, Car Hire Uganda partners with our registered sister safari company Go Gorilla Trekking Limited, a fully licensed tour operator recognized by the Uganda Tourism Board (License No. UTB/RTT/TO/2025/101655). Through this partnership, we ensure that all gorilla and chimpanzee permits are purchased legally and promptly, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with delays or fraudulent agents. In addition to permits, we can also assist with hotel and lodge bookings near trekking areas to simplify your entire travel plan.
About Gorilla and Chimpanzee Encounters

Our clients relaxing after an epic gorilla trek in Rushaga – Bwindi Forest
Gorilla trekking in Uganda is one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences in Africa, taking you deep into the misty rainforest of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest where you can spend an awe-inspiring hour observing a habituated family of endangered mountain gorillas. The trek can range from easy to challenging depending on the group location, but the reward is always worth it.
Similarly, chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest and Kyambura Gorge allows visitors to witness the social behavior and vocal excitement of our closest genetic relatives, often just meters away. These experiences are regulated, sustainable, and deeply immersive, making Uganda one of the top primate destinations in the world.
