Uganda gorilla permits increased to USD800 – Uganda is still a very reasonably priced gorilla trekking option in Africa.
Uganda gorilla permits increased
Uganda gorilla permits now run USD 800.00 per person per trip from 1st July 2024. AUTO, the Association of Uganda Tour Operators, reported this development at a consultative meeting. Effective 1st July 2020, all foreign non-residents will pay USD800 per gorilla permit to spend one hour with mountain gorillas in Mgahinga National Park or Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
Foreign residents will pay USD 700 each gorilla permit per trip. East Africans living in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, and Southern Sudan would also have to pay only 300,000 shillings to view the endangered mountain gorillas.
Add-ons to gorilla trekking in Uganda: Pay USD 800 for a gorilla permit and see Semiliki or Elgon.
Although Uganda gorilla licenses have been raised to USD800 for international non-residents from USD700 and USD700 for foreign residents from USD500, this permit authorizes one to visit or add on a visit to Semiliki National Park or Mountain Elgon National Park.
This has been done to entice visitors to Uganda to spend longer days and time there. Three days have been spent by visitors to Uganda specifically to see mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Still, now they would have to consider staying in Uganda, visiting either Mount Elgon National Park or Semiliki National Park.
Uganda is still a very reasonably priced gorilla trekking option in Africa.
Uganda remains the most reasonably priced and safe gorilla travel option despite the increase in the cost of a gorilla permit. Although the Democratic Republic of Congo is the most reasonably priced of the three gorilla trekking countries, it is still not particularly safe to visit, leaving Uganda and Rwanda to compete among themselves. Rwanda gorilla permits are USD1500.00 per person per trip in Volcanoes National Park, Uganda, which still makes it a preferable destination for mountain gorillas.
