Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

Gorilla trekking is one of Africa’s most unforgettable wildlife experiences. It involves hiking through dense tropical forests to meet mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. The main destinations are Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.

It is a bit sad and strange that gorilla permit prices change depending on the season, even though the experience remains the same.

Gorilla Permit Prices
  • High season: about $800 per person
  • Low season (April, May, November): about $600 per person

Low season is quieter, with fewer tourists and a more peaceful forest experience.

Expect ; Treks may take 1 hour or more depending on the location of the gorillas. Once found, you spend up to 1 hour with a gorilla family observing their natural behavior.

Travel Information
  • By road: 8–10 hours from Kampala
