Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Can gorilla permits be resold?

Direct answer

No — reselling gorilla permits is prohibited by UWA and RDB. Permits are issued in the trekker's name, tied to a specific date and sector, and verified against passports at park gates. Buying permits from unofficial resellers risks fraud, invalid tickets, and no refund if caught. Always book through UWA, RDB, or a licensed tour operator listed on the Uganda Tourism Board register.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
