Uganda Gorilla Permit | Cost of a Gorilla Permit in Uganda

A Uganda Gorilla Permit is a special pass that allows you to visit the gorillas in their natural habitat. The gorilla permits of Uganda are sold from Uganda Wildlife Authority Headquarters.

They are sold for a particular date and location on the basis of first come first serve. Gorilla trekking is conducted in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The cost of these permits in Uganda is known to be quite friendly to visitors.

With effect from July 2024, a Uganda Gorilla Trekking Permit costs Eight Hundred Dollars (800 USD) for Foreign Non Residents, Seven Hundred Dollars (700 USD) for Foreign Residents and Three Hundred Thousand Uganda Shillings (300,000UGX) for Ugandans and citizens from the East African Community member states.

However, Uganda Wildlife Authority sometimes offers discounts for promotional purposes like in the previous years they would discount gorilla permits and sale them for less than the usual price in the low season months of April, May and November.
