How to process Gorilla trekking permits credit note from UWA
What is a credit note from Uganda Wildlife Authority?
Uganda Wildlife Authority provided a credit note for the canceled gorilla permits with a reimbursement; this statement may be used to make future reservations upon presentation.
Money held by UWA may be used under the credit note arrangement for gorilla and chimp permits to buy any good or service, including admission fees and those items on sale during the promotional period that runs until June 30, 2021. Using the money from the credit note arrangement, we may also top up on other current permits.
Why is UWA enabling credit note processing by tour operators?
Uganda Wildlife Authority is letting tour operators handle credit notes for them to conveniently handle the permits that were not used by visitors who failed to make it to Uganda because of different uncertainties and COVID-19 constraints. Most of the gorilla permits are bought via tour operators, not directly to UWA, so it is simple for them to seek and follow up credit note requests.
To guarantee that permits for their guests are canceled from the system at least seven days before the tracking date, tour operators must provide information about their clients for the permits booked in advance to the UWA Reservation Office.
