Home FAQ Gorilla trekking

Gorilla trekking permit cancellation policy?

Direct answer

UWA's cancellation policy for Uganda gorilla permits (July 2024–June 2026 tariff) refunds 75% if cancelled 91+ days before the trek, 50% at 46–90 days, 25% at 9–45 days, and 0% within 8 days or for no-shows. Rwanda RDB permits are generally non-refundable once purchased. Illness cancellations with a valid medical report may qualify for a 50% UWA refund. All requests must be submitted in writing through UWA or your licensed operator.

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.
