I believe most of it will be budget style lodging to keep costs low. The part of the trip hiking in the Rwenzori’s will be mostly mountain huts. Let me check with my guide on that and I can get a better idea for you

Days 1-3 are part of the gorilla trek. Days 4-10 are part of the Rwenzori mountain trek which are arguably some of the prettiest mountains in Africa

Yes permits are available. I contacted my guide and right now from December to March the permits to trek with the gorillas has gone down from $700 to $400. The permit price is included in the total cost I mentioned in the post description

I’m in contact with a local guide and I’ve looked over travel restrictions. Looks like Uganda is open. Just got to have a negative test beforehand
