A gorilla trekking permit in Uganda costs approximately $800 per person as of 2024. This fee grants you the unique opportunity to spend an hour observing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. The cost of the permit contributes to the conservation efforts and the protection of the mountain gorillas, as well as supporting the local communities living around the national parks. Uganda’s permit fee is significantly lower compared to Rwanda’s, where permits can cost up to $1,500, making Uganda a more affordable yet equally rewarding destination for this once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience.
