Home FAQ Cost & budget

Are gorilla permits included?

Direct answer

Reputable Uganda safari packages usually include the gorilla permit in the quoted price—always confirm in writing before paying, as the 0 fee is non-refundable once UWA issues your dated, nominative slot. Budget operators sometimes list permits separately; peak-season bookings require passport copies and often full permit payment at deposit stage regardless of package tier.

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.
