Gorilla permit Price in Uganda increases to $800 effective July 2024
One morning as awoke and a Gorilla permit Price in Uganda increased to $800 effectively in July 2024. So we still have the chills of the uprising and taking this ample time to utilize the only $700 permits that will remain in uganda for the rest of the time.
GORILLA PERMIT INCREASE
One of the world’s most remarkable wildlife encounters is trekking the rare mountain gorillas in the remote forests of southwestern Uganda. Spend time watching them closely snacking foliage to fill their large bellies, the young ones jumping from branch to the other as the silverback keeps an eye of security on the group, what a quintessential experience!
A gorilla permit is a very significant tool when it comes to trekking these gentle giants.
A gorilla permit is a document or card issued by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) that allows any traveller above 15 years of age to trek mountain gorillas in any of the two habitats; Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park.
With effect from 1st July 2020, Uganda gorilla permits will cost $700 each. After many years of selling gorilla permits at $600, the Uganda Wildlife Authority has made a move to increase her gorilla permit by $100 to $700. Conservation of the endangered mountain gorillas is the major reason for the increase in gorilla permit prices in Uganda.
Despite the increase, Uganda’s permits are still affordable and at low cost compared to neighbouring Rwanda which costs $1500 each, the Democratic Republic of Congo which is the most affordable of all the three gorilla trekking nations is still not very safe to visit! Uganda remains the most affordable and safe mountain gorilla trekking destination.
According to the 2018 gorilla census, Uganda is home to over 400 mountain gorillas, which is half of the world’s mountain gorillas counting roughly 1004 species. These gorillas inhabit the jungle forests of Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga gorilla national parks
