Discounted Gorilla Permits
Discounted Gorilla Permits: The Uganda Wildlife Authority has extended discounted gorilla licenses for the low season months of April, May, and November at a cost of USD 450.00. In April, May, and November of 2016 and 2017, anybody who wish to embark on a gorilla trekking expedition will need to pay $450 for each gorilla permit. Please take note that the discounted gorilla permits for 2017 will still be available at off-season rates of USD 450 per person for international nationals without residency and USD 400 per person for inhabitants of East Africa with valid work licenses for Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania. Please continue reading for more information.
Low season or cheap gorilla permits in Uganda are still available from Uganda Wildlife Authority and the Association of Uganda Tour Operators. For discounted gorilla permits to trek gorillas in April, May, and November of 2016 and 2017, please contact Budget Gorilla Trekking. You can save $250 each permit during these months, when they are sold for USD 450 instead of USD 700. Because Uganda Wildlife Authority charges residents of East Africa USD400.00, they stand to save up to USD300.00. This is a great concept as Uganda aims to increase the number of visitors to the country. Here are official Uganda Wildlife details.
Uganda had the greatest growth in tourism in all of Africa in 2015 and was chosen by Lonely Planet as the best place to visit. The president of Uganda believes that in the upcoming years, tourism will be the industry that lifts the nation out of poverty. These reduced rates for gorilla permits in Uganda, particularly during the off-peak months, would not only boost tourism but also raise awareness and generate revenue for the industry.
Rwanda may consider the aforementioned reduction as well, as in 2013 it raised the price of gorilla licenses from USD 500.00 to USD 750.00. Things appear to be going well in Uganda because of its many attractions, which include the stunning national parks, the Source of the Nile, the Rwenzori and Elgon Mountains, Lake Victoria, and others, along with its relative stability and infrastructural development.
Ugandan Gorilla Permits at a Discount
Is trekking with gorillas in April, May, and November a good idea?
Every year, discounted gorilla permits for November, April, and May are announced in order to facilitate tourist travel during Uganda’s off-peak months. Travelers are urged to take advantage of these months since lodging costs typically decrease during these times, bringing down the overall cost of a gorilla safari. Some travelers have been led to believe that this deal is only available during the months when it rains a lot, which makes gorilla trekking rather difficult. This is untrue because Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is situated in a high-altitude region with tropical rain forests, and as a result, a variety of factors, including westeries (winds from the Congo), affect the park’s climate. This implies that, regardless of whether it is a wet or dry season, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park experiences rainfall every thirty minutes throughout the year.

Budget Gorilla Trekking will send you an invoice with our bank account information once you have selected the dates, allowing you to make your payments. If you would like more information, please get in touch with us. Please note that there will be a 5% fee applied to credit card payments. We also accept payments made with Visa and Master Card. In order to finalize your safari, we normally need to receive payment for your gorilla permits in full and a 20% deposit. The remaining six weeks can be paid to your safari. We can start the preparatory work needed to ensure the success of your trip, tour, or safari with this 20% deposit. We utilize it for deposits on lodging, calls to the Uganda Wildlife Authority, and transportation to and from reservations.
How can I find out if my permit has been reserved or pre-paid for? Our office team will verify the validity of gorilla permits at UWA for your selected trekking dates as soon as your funds appear in our bank account.
