Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) is the government body that is responsible for all national parks and reserves in Uganda,

Uganda has two gorilla tracking parks which are Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park both parks are located in southwestern Uganda in the Kisoro area bordering Rwanda and DR-Congo

Gorilla permits are in high demand, especially during the high season, others call it peak or dry season which is in the months of June, July, August, September, October, December, January, and February while during the low months of March, April, May, and November, permits are not on high demand like in the high/peak season, we give you this information to help you in planning cheaper and budget gorilla trekking safari so that you can book your gorilla permits in the advance between 6 months and a year in advance.

The current cost of a gorilla permit in Uganda is $700 per person for a day trek in either Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park or in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, while the cost of a gorilla permit in Rwanda is $1500 per person for a day trek, now this means if you trek gorillas in Uganda instead of Rwanda you will be saving $800 on each permit which is one of the cheaper options for gorilla trekking in Uganda, Kisoro tours advise most tourists to take advantage of a cheaper and affordable gorilla permit in Uganda.

Mountain gorillas in Bwindi Forest

Because of cheaper and affordable permits in Uganda, many travelers are booking their permits in Uganda as their try to run away from Rwanda double priced gorilla permits, from the day Rwanda doubled its gorilla permit price Uganda has seen a very big increase in the number of tourists demanding for gorilla permits as other travelers are flying into Kigali Rwanda and crosse to Uganda for cheaper options for gorilla trekking in Uganda.
