Costs and how to get a gorilla permit for a gorilla trekking safari in Uganda
The gorilla permit in Uganda costs $700 per person per trek for foreigners who are not residents, $600 per person per trek for residents, and $70 per person for East African citizens (Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, Burundi, and South Sudan). It allows you to spend an hour with mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.
The 17 habituated gorilla family groups in Uganda are spread out with 16 in Bwindi and 1 in Mgahinga. This means that 136 permits are available every day for gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda. If you want to spend more time with mountain gorillas in Uganda, you can do a Gorilla Habituation Experience, which is only available in Bwindi Forest. For $1500 per person, you can spend 4 hours with semi-acclimatized mountain gorillas under the guidance of trackers and researchers, instead of just 1 hour during normal trekking.
For gorilla licenses in Uganda, you can book them directly through the Uganda Wildlife Authority or through a reputable tour company in Uganda, such as Dav Safaris.

The Rwandan gorilla permit costs $1500 per person per trek for foreigners who don't live in Rwanda, $500 per person for foreigners who do live in Rwanda, and $200 per person for East African citizens (Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, Burundi, and South Sudan). This gives you the chance to spend 1 hour with mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park. Because Rwanda is home to 12 gorilla families, 96 passes are given out every day for gorilla trekking safaris in Volcanoes National Park. For gorilla licenses in Rwanda, you can book them directly through the Rwanda Development Board or through a reputable tour company in Rwanda, such as Dav Safaris.
However, you need to be aware that when you book your gorilla permit, the price does not include lodging, flights, ground transportation, meals, or other costs. You will need to ask your tour operator for more information about the plan you are booking.
The best time to book a gorilla trekking tour during the Easter holiday
During the Easter holidays, the best time to book your gorilla trekking safari is at least 2 weeks before it starts. It is highly recommended to plan your gorilla trek at least a year ahead of time to make sure you don't miss out on things like gorilla permits.
You can only use a gorilla permit on the date you bought it; after that date, it can't be used again. Please make sure that you can go on the hiking day. With this gorilla permit, you can spend an hour with a certain family of mountain gorillas that you are familiar with. You will be able to take still pictures and short films during this hour.
You'll also hear interesting conversations from your guide. The services of a field guide and tourism police are also included to make sure that you are safe in the forest. This Uganda Wildlife Authority guard will have a gun with them, most likely an AK-47, to scare away any stray animals that might show up along the way.
