Frequently Asked Uganda Safari Questions
Everything you need to know before booking your gorilla trekking and wildlife adventure.
A gorilla trekking permit in Uganda costs $800 USD per person for foreign non‑residents. This fee is set by the Uganda Wildlife Authority and includes park entrance, guide, and the one‑hour gorilla encounter. Permits are limited and should be booked well in advance, especially during peak seasons.
The dry seasons – June to August and December to February – are ideal for gorilla trekking and game drives. Trails are less muddy, wildlife concentrates near water sources, and photographic conditions are excellent. However, Uganda is a year‑round destination with unique beauty in every season.
A moderate level of fitness is recommended. Treks can last 2 to 6 hours through steep, dense forest. Porters are available to assist, and your guide will adjust the pace to the group. The reward – an intimate gorilla encounter – is well worth the effort.
