Cost of Gorilla Trekking in Uganda
In Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park, gorilla trekking is a popular activity.
Keep in mind that the gorilla permit costs 800 USD when calculating the cost of gorilla trekking in Uganda. It used to cost $450 USD in the off-peak months, but eventually the cheaper permits were discontinued. Only eight individuals are permitted to trek the mountain gorillas each day, and there are thirteen families that have been accustomed to the primates. Three months prior to your trip, reserve your gorilla permit.
Speak with a reputable tour operator who oversees your gorilla trekking safari and is affiliated with the Association of Uganda Tour Operators.
Give the trip operator your travel dates, and they will email your bank information or ask you to pay with a credit card.
Following payment acknowledgement, they will send in a copy of your passport, which is required for gorilla permit registration in order to verify your country, names, status, and passport number.
You will obtain your gorilla permit to enter any of the four sectors in Bwindi—Buhoma, Nkuringo, Rushaga, and Ruhijah—after registering.
