How to Get a Gorilla Trekking Permit in Uganda

Mountain gorillas are among the world’s rarest and most endangered primates. Today, they can only be found in the dense forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, and the Virunga Conservation Area, which spans Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

These magnificent primates cannot survive in captivity, which is why you will not find mountain gorillas in zoos anywhere in the world. Every gorilla trekking permit purchased contributes directly to their conservation and the protection of their natural habitat.

The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a Uganda Gorilla Permit is through a licensed and trusted tour operator like 4×4 Uganda Car Rentals/ Mum and Dad Uganda Tours . Authorized tour operators are permitted to purchase gorilla permits directly from the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) on behalf of travelers.

Once you provide your preferred trekking date, we will:

• Check permit availability.
• Reserve your permit.
• Process your booking.
• Send you confirmation once payment has been received.
• Coordinate your permit with your safari itinerary.

Our team will also advise you on the best trekking sector based on your accommodation, travel route, and availability.
