GORILLA PERMIT

To be able to enjoy a gorilla tracking you need to buy a permit which is issued by Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). As only 8 people per group per day are allowed, it is necessary to book permits as early as possible. We advise to book at least 3 months in advance to ensure that you can track on the requested date. Gorilla trekking permits cost USD$ 500 per person but prices may increase in the future.

By following these rules and through the purchase of the permit, YOU too are contributing to the conservation of the mountain gorilla. UWA uses the funds generated from the sale of this permit for the management of the national parks. A percentage of the funds raised from park entrance fees are also donated to local communities living adjacent to the parks to contribute to their development and improve natural resource management in the region.

Sale conditions of the gorilla permit:
- Any visitor who shows signs of illness will not be allowed to join the gorilla tour. A visitor shall be declared unfit to track due to illness by a warden-in-charge in the park, 50% of the tracking fee will be refunded. Illness is determined at the discretion of the warden-in-charge. The cancellation policy will apply to visitors who fall sick prior to their travel to the park.
- Permits are non-refundable but visitors who track the whole day and fail to see them for whatever reason will be refunded 50% of the tracking fee.
- The gorilla permit is not a guarantee that the gorilla will be clearly viewed.
- The minimum age limit for visiting the gorillas is 16 years.
