The Best Way of Booking Gorilla Permits in Uganda

From a Gorilla Tour Operator: The Secret to Getting a GORILLA PERMIT IN UGANDA

The obtainability of Gorilla Permits in Uganda is definitely tense/constricted, especially during High Seasons. They (Permits) have become valuable and much-required commodities in Uganda by Tourists from all over the World.  Uganda being the rational and principal country for the exclusive Gorilla Trekking activity in 2019-2020, you are not either the first or the only one to comprehend that an accumulating total of African Trekkers looking for Gorilla Trekking Permits. Often the recommendations to Travel media like TripAdvisor, and even Safari Operator Websites are obsolete or hold what we could refer to as fabrication/ improper. (the past but not the present)

Websites are regularly not efficient, search results on Google provide you with that page – look at the date – if there it will help.

What was the truth in January of 2017 may not be so in January of 2019 – Things have altered a lot since then.  The only country for Affordable Safe Trekking Gorilla Permits in Uganda. Do not be enticed by such headlines as “Cheap Uganda Gorilla Permits for 2020.” That is an offense to one’s cleverness since there is nothing “Cheap” about a Gorilla Permit in Uganda in 2019, they are $700, yes $800 lower than in Rwanda.  Gorilla Trekking, due to the permit rate, has become the most expensive Tourism Activity in Africa.  That is the truth and endorsing them as cheap borders on a “Con or Scam.’

The other Gorilla Permit fraud is that a Gorilla Permit in Rwanda is costlier since Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda is a Better Involvement than in Uganda, that Rwanda is more preserved & community-inclined than Uganda.  That too is a fraud or one could say a rotation.  One can easily disprove that disagreement with information.  We point to the Great Gorilla Trekker Migration from Rwanda – Uganda, beginning in May 2017 and proceeding in full swing throughout 2018 & 2019.

Uganda does not present the lowest-rated Mountain Gorilla Permits, that credit goes to Virunga National Park in DR Congo. In Virunga National Park, you might venture not just gentle giants (Gorillas) but Guerrillas.

Gorilla Permits, a Gorilla Trekking Tour, consider it a gift to yourself – directing to an implausible happenstance with the Gorillas (Gentle Giants) of the Forest.

No one has ever been sorry for the rate of the Gorilla permit after being with the gentle giants (Mountain Gorillas) in Uganda.

Gorilla Permit Obtainability – we often find them in the most infrequent ways from other Safari Operators and obtain them when permits are not accessible through Uganda Wildlife Authority.

Gorilla Permits rise $100 – $700 Effective July 1, 2020

If your Gorilla Tour is scheduled after July 1, 2020, you will pay the $700 Permit Price 

Uganda Gorilla Permit Price rise from $600 – $700 effective July 1, 2020. The $100 rise will go to preservation energies/efforts & to community infrastructure projects that benefit the communities surrounding the Gorilla Parks.

As of July 1, 2020, 80% of Permits will be allotted to the registered Association of Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO). 20% will go to the general public and temporary operators. An e-system will be in place for Safari Operator with online payment choices, involving the use of Mobile Money, which is a suitable way for payments in Uganda.

This trifling rate upsurge should not be a blockage to most gorilla trekkers. The rate of an entire 3-Day Gorilla accumulated less than 10% for a moderately rated Tour. The Uganda Wildlife Authority has shown a lot of limitations in not levitating the permit charges earlier. The $100 upsurge came about due to the factor of an upsurge in preservation rates & methods.

Inside Information and Practical Advice from an Authorized Gorilla Tour Operator

What is a Gorilla Permit in Uganda and what does it mean to me?

A Gorilla Permit is a legal document issued by Uganda Wildlife, allowing you to be with a Gorilla Family.  UWA distributes Gorilla Permits and is promoted via primarily the Association of Uganda Tour Operators to the public.

There are currently 180 Gorilla Permits obtainable each day. The minimum age of a contestant is 15. The permit is distributed not for a certain Gorilla Group, but a section of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park/Forest like Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, and Nkuringo.  The Nyakagezi Group in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is diverse since it is the only group there. Permits are distributed for a fixed date. The date can be altered under some conditions for a rate.  The Permit includes the Park Entrance charge for the day of the Permit.

Gorilla Habituation Experience Permits cost $1,500.  This extensive Experience takes place in the Rushaga section of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park/Forest, and only 4 permits are obtainable each day for a group.  Porter Fees, and Tips, are not involved in the rate/charge annulled.

Permit Availability during Peak Seasons

Hearing – There are no Permits for the Date you gave us-How you can avoid that:

The Number One Gorilla Permit Error made by African Trekkers is that Gorilla Trekking is an afterthought, a supplement to their Time in Africa.

Such preparations often result in no Gorilla Trekking or Gorilla Habituation Experience Permits.

Africa is a huge continent, and it is not stylish/elegant to go on a Wildlife Tour in South Africa and supplementary Gorilla Trekking. Stick to East Africa or even better stick to an extended Tour in Uganda, and you will be glad that you did.

The way to dodge hearing that Permits are sold out is easy.  For the African Tour, it implies opposite preparations, not starting with the Serengeti or Masai Mara which can be done anytime but beginning with the Gorilla Trekking slice of your time in Africa.

Avoid hearing the permits that are sold out on the dates you gave us.

The Secret to Getting GORILLA PERMITS IN UGANDA – Here is the sure-fire way for you:

You can “Yourself.” You can apply straight to the Uganda Wildlife Authority by email or telephone.  Most become unsatisfied (many are unable to get through with calls or email-there is no online system in place nor will be as in Rwanda) with that method, and only a small slice of the permits is allotted for direct Sale.

The finest way, the simple secret exposed to successfully gaining your permit is to use a Ugandan Safari Operator that is a member of the Association of Uganda Tour Operators.  There are 1,000 & more Tour Operators operating in Uganda, many of them being folder companies. A portion of those is formally standard partners in the Marketing and Sales of Gorilla Permits.

The other way is to book a Tour with Gorilla Trekking in it.  That will result in the Safari operator working with and for you and no additional charges for finding permits.

Everyone will promise you permits, but only with AUTO members, do you have the finest opportunity of accessing permits for you.

Gorilla permit booking – It is our proposal to book a gorilla tour/trip 6 months prior to the date that you decide to trek. We suggest nine months earlier during the high seasons of June – July – August – December – January – February,

Book your Gorilla Safari during the Off-Season Months of the Year:

The finest months of the year for a Gorilla Permit are April, May, mid-October via early December.  They are what is reflected as the off-season, which means that there is also less trekking, Uganda gets a bit quiet, and yet Gorilla Trekking occurs daily, 365 days of the year come rain/ shine.

The months are also the wet season months, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a rainforest, and it can rain year in, and year out.  No one protested because it rained.  Trekkers put on ponchos or rain jackets and venture into the forest to trek Gorillas.

Normally Gorilla Permits are readily obtainable, and even the gorilla habituation experience can be gotten during those months.

If you want to trek Mountain Gorillas in 2019, the permit obtain ability forecast is desolate from July through September.  Permit obtain ability is there during the Off-Season Months.

Off-Season Permits are something to be considered.

Avoid Costly Permit Mistakes & Being Conned:

You are in your home country (Uganda). At times crooked people have tried to extract money from tourists like Gorilla Permits.  Some may even try to sell you a reduced-rated permit that does not exist.

If you post a question on TripAdvisor or similar media, you might be contacted by someone whose only drive is to take/remove money from you and who has no purpose of getting you a permit.

Use a genuine Tour Operator.  Do not send money to a personal account but rather to a business account only.  Do not send money through Western Union or the same means. Make sure that they have a Business Bank Account where you can send money through Bank to Bank Transfer or have a Credit Card payment scheme in place.

Not all who use an AUTO Logo on their site are AUTO members.

Permits are $600 currently & $700 after July 1, 2020 – Book a complete Tour with Gorilla Trekking with an AUTO Safari operator.  Avoid folder companies without a history or only a Facebook Presence.

Read the Fine Print – some Tour operators will offer Gorilla Safari prices that seem ridiculously low and will not include permit price- add $600 to the cost to get the actual price.
