What is a Gorilla Permit
A gorilla trekking permit is a requirement before you embark on a gorilla safari in Uganda. The permit is an official document from Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) authorizing a tourist to view gorillas from a specified location/sector.
Once you have a gorilla trekking permit, you will be permitted one single trek. Once you spot the gorillas, the permit allows you only one hour in their midst. After the trek, a certificate of completion will be issued.
As of 2025/2026, the cost of a single person trek for non resident foreigners is $800. You are free to personally book your permit through your car rental agency or to personally go to UWA offices in Kampala. Note that there are always long lines so you must have enough time. Also permits run out especially in peak seasons. Booking in advance is advised.
