In my experience gorilla viewing without permit is stupid. First of all most habituated groups are continuously monitored by rangers (trackers) and/or (pig skinned) scientists/researchers. Unhabituated groups you will not find - dream on.
So whoever is selling you such a trip, must be having very up to date inside information about who is where and when.
I highly doubt that the conmen at Bunyonyi have that.
Secondly, even when having a permit and despite all information the UWA rangers have, there is a possibility that the gorilla groups prove too difficult to find. Tracking based on unofficial information: good luck.

Apologies for attempting to help. When we did this in September it worked for us.
I had been told that the permits have since jumped up to $1000, sorry if my info was incorrect.

And to base yourself for a Bwindi tour in Bunyonyi is impossible. It's 4 hours away from Bwindi by 4X4...(dry condidions)

It didn't seem too impossible when we did it a few months ago. It took less than two hours to get there, in a regular car, in the wet.
