-
Uganda Tourism Police
-
Uganda Police Force
-
Uganda Peopleβs Defence Forces (UPDF)
-
Private international security teams
-
Private helicopter and aviation charters
The level of protection is dependent on risk assessment and preference. Some dignitaries prefer discretion without visible security, while others opt for full protection detail.
Monumental Expeditions and Safaris handles all necessary coordination with government authorities to ensure a seamless and secure journey.

Luxury Air Transport & Chartered Flights
For VIP gorilla trekking safaris, commercial domestic flights may not meet the standards required for privacy and comfort. For this reason, private chartered aircraft and helicopters are often recommended.
Guests can fly directly from Entebbe to:
-
Kihihi Airstrip (for Bwindi β Buhoma/Rushaga/Nkuringo)
-
Kisoro Airstrip (for Mgahinga Gorilla National Park)
-
Kasese Airstrip (for Queen Elizabeth extensions)
Monumental Expeditions and Safaris arranges:
βοΈ Private charter flights
βοΈ Helicopter transfers
βοΈ Luxury light aircraft
βοΈ Experienced professional pilots
βοΈ Private aviation terminals
These flights reduce road travel time dramatically and improve safety, comfort, and efficiency.

VIP Medical Support on Standby
Your safety is always a priority. That is why all VIP gorilla trekking safaris include advanced medical planning such as:
βοΈ Paramedics on standby
βοΈ Private ambulance accompanying the convoy
βοΈ Evacuation plan by air if required
βοΈ First-aid stations near trekking points
βοΈ Coordination with top Ugandan hospitals
This is particularly important for high-profile guests who cannot afford risk during expeditions into dense rainforests.
Exclusive Gorilla Family Reservation
For standard gorilla trekking, only 8 people are allowed per gorilla family per day. However, with a VIP experience, Monumental Expeditions and Safaris can secure all 8 permits for a single gorilla family, meaning:
β
No other tourists join your trek
β
Total privacy with the gorillas
β
Personalized guides and trackers
β
Extended luxury arrangements
β
Discreet coordination
Guests will spend the legal one hour with the gorillas, but the entire experience is shaped around comfort, timing, and privacy.
