The Quick, safe & Easiest way to book Gorilla Habituation Permits in Uganda
- The first step is to check and ensure that the Company you are intending to plan or book your Gorilla Habituation Safari with is registered with the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB). just like Realm Africa Safaris™ is registered with Uganda Tourism Board (UTB), and the Association of Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO). Don’t just take our word please follow these links to confirm. While the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB), Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), and the Association of Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO) endeavor to make sure that travelers seeking to book a holiday to Uganda do so with a registered company, there are still quite many unregistered companies out there luring Customers with persuasive advertising of Cheap gorilla Habituation Permits in Uganda, be careful you might end up falling victim to Fraudulent ones.
- Contact your local tour operator with a choice of date(s) on which you would prefer to go gorilla on the Gorilla Habituation Experience. For instance 01st -January-2024. Also, send a copy of your passport (bios page).

The tour operator will then contact UWA to check if there are still gorilla Permits available for the date(s) of interest.
The tour operator will then get back to you with a response on whether or not there are permits available. Assuming they are available, the tour operator will then advise on how you should pay for your Gorilla Habituation Permit. This depends on if you are purchasing an all-inclusive Gorilla Habituation Holiday or only want the tour operator to buy the Gorilla Habituation permit and you arrange the rest of your tour – ask for my opinion, and I will say buy the all-inclusive tour as it saves you the hassle of having to figure things out, and reduces your chances of getting things completely wrong.
The DIY (Do it yourself) process might seem cheaper at the start, but can turn out to be alot more costly if you get one or two things wrong….you’ll be surely screwed.
Mountain Gorilla Habituation Permits in Uganda cost $1,500 per person/permit. If you want the operator to only assist you to buy the Gorilla Habituation Permit, then they will charge an extra service fee of between $50 – $100 per person/permit. Otherwise, if you are buying an all-inclusive Gorilla Habituation Tour, then they will not charge extra on the purchase of the permit – it will be one cost for organizing your entire Gorilla Habituation trip. For instance, Realm Africa Safaris™ will charge you $2,100per person sharing for a 3 Days Budget gorilla Habituation Safari to Bwindi which includes a gorilla habituation permit ($1,500pp/p), accommodation, meals, transport in a 4×4 Toyota Landcruiser driven by an experienced local Safari guide.

Once your tour Operator receives your payment for the permit(s), they will make the payment and have your Gorilla habituation Permit printed out and sent to you.
