For a multitude of reasons, Uganda gorilla trekking is still poorly valued in terms of pricing, services, closeness. A Uganda gorilla permit is $800 per person, per trip. At $1500 per person each trip, this is over half the cost of the gorilla trekking licenses in Rwanda.

Mountain gorillas living in Uganda call Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park home. Uganda has over half of the world’s famed mountain gorillas. Right now, eighteen gorilla families are available for visitors. These parks have uneven roads and are in a very rural location.

The great extent of the Bwindi impenetrable Forest national park gorilla permits dictates their booking based on area. This was done to guarantee that gorilla families in various spheres of the forest are visited because, without visits, the habituated families may revert to their wild nature. The park has four gorilla trekking sites: Rushage gorilla area, Nkuringo region, Ruhijah area, Buhoma area.

Supporting the studies on Uganda’s mountain gorillas calls for a lot of money. Funds for gorilla research in Uganda are not flowing as they should right now. Though Uganda has numerous gorillas, the teams working on gorilla habituation are relatively modest and nevertheless need funding. It is not wise to raise the cost of a Uganda permit to correspond with the expense of the Rwanda gorilla permit when Uganda has less research done.

Growing numbers of gorilla families call Bwindi impenetrable National Park their home in Uganda. The gorilla permit tariff needs to be reduced to a reasonable cost if they are to be visited often. Still, the expense shouldn’t draw mass tourists.

A method for getting gorillas used to human presence is gorilla habituation; yet, a gorilla family becomes wild if it is not routinely visited.

From Entebbe Airport to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
From Entebbe Airport to Bwindi Impenetrable National park, the road trip takes around 8 hours to 9 over a 540 km distance. Particularly in the wet seasons, the rural routes are quite inaccessible.

Research on Mountains Gorilla continues ongoing
While the Uganda side of mountain gorilla study is still developing, prominent environmentalist Dian Fossey founded the Karisoke Gorilla study in Rwanda. New university courses like Bachelors of Tourism and Conservation Biology are continuously developing to support the gorilla’s habitat protection.

Furthermore, the mountain gorilla conservation effort in Uganda began in the 1990s after the eviction of the Batwa pygmies from the primary provider—the Forest. This is not so much time to get sufficient information on the mountain gorillas placing gorilla treks in Uganda still under research.

Low advertising for Uganda Gorilla Trekking Safari Uganda’s marketing for the gorilla trekking experience are still low drawing fewer people therefore in order to provide opportunity to the few visitors to enjoy it, the price needs to be dropped. Uganda gorilla trekking is underrated for this reason.

The resolve of the Uganda government to completely assist in the protection of mountain gorillas is still lacking. Most of the money comes from individual sponsors who cannot cover all costs. This explains why gorilla trekking in Uganda is cheap to attract more visitors.

This rises with the total money earned from gorilla trekking. For conservation concerns, mass tourism is not permitted in Bwindi National Park, however. Maximum eight guests are permitted to visit each Uganda gorilla trekking family.

Low Ugandan Domestic Gorilla Trekking Support

Local gorilla trekking in Uganda is still somewhat low, hence the price of a gorilla permit now runs Uganda shillings 300000 per person in order to draw domestic visitors.

The demand for vacation time in Uganda is simply steadily rising and so dragging the count of local people who value spending just one hour with the mountain gorillas.

Though numbers are still small, several local residents recently went gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The gorilla permit’s price dropped to draw in more.

More time spent tracking Rwanda’s mountain gorillas
The duration of the gorilla trekking trip in Bwindi Impenetrable National park Uganda is said to be longer than either Rwanda or D.R. Congo. The large Bwindi forest allows gorillas great area to explore the jungle to further reaches. Longer journeys are thus needed to find the mountain gorillas. Not knowing where to locate the gorillas wears one really tired.

This provides Volcanoes National Park Rwanda with an edge over Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda other gorilla trekking parks have.

Must allow visitors to other Uganda National parks
