But isn't it also true that there are only so many permits per day, and they
often sell out well in advance? If that happens, your only chance is to hope
for a no-show (not very likely given the cost of the permits!) or for
someone with a ticket to have a cold or other infection whereupon they will
not be allowed to visit the gorillas. They get their money refunded (IIRC)
and the tickets can be re-sold. It's a chance, but not a guarantee.

This is as I understand it from my friends who visited a few years back.
They had permits for two consecutive days, but a couple with another company
who though they had two days' permits only had one day's, and they
didn't get on the gorilla trek on the second day as it was full and were
extremely disappointed.
