Gorilla Permits

The African Mountain Gorillas in Uganda are one of the main attractions to visitors to Uganda. Mountain Gorilla Tracking (Trekking) permits are a much sought after commodity and with a small number of people allowed to track each day, it takes a lot of planning to ensure an opportunity of the tracking of Mountain Gorillas in Uganda.

The price of the Mountain Gorilla Trekking Permits cost $750 USD each (Jan 2023). You must be at least 15 years of age. Permits can be obtained for two different parks, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla Park. However the situation in Mgahinga is a bit more fluid, since the habituated Mountain Gorilla group there moves back and forth to Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
