We did the gorilla trek in Mgahinga NP in April 2011, in the SW corner of Uganda. A very pretty NP with other activities as well. Went to the NP office in Kisoro to book the day before, and were told to buy the permits at the NP entrance. Judging by the permits book at the reception, it doesn't seem to get crowded out. There was one habituated group of 9 individuals incl 2 silverbacks when we were there which took about 1 1/2 hours to find which seems about the average. Given that this is where the 3 countries meet, worth checking beforehand that the gorillas haven't crossed into Rwanda/Congo.
