--Gorilla Rate permits 2018 Uganda

How to book a gorilla permit?

Gorilla permits are very popular and not many permits are available (a total of 80 permits per day in Uganda). The permits get sold out far in advance, especially in high season (June - October + December - february). We advise you to book your tour and your permits far in advance.
In all our private tours that are going to Bwindi (gorilla land) the gorilla permit is INCLUDED in the costing. We do however have to check availability before confirming your booking.

When to go on gorilla tracking?

Gorilla tracking can be done the whole year through and is evenly as good. There is no higher or lower success rate in the different seasons (95% guaranteed to see them).

In rainy season the tracks in the rain forest might be a bit muddier and your tracking might be a bit longer/ tougher because of that. However; it's a RAIN forest, so difference is not all that big compared to dry season.

In rainy season you are more likely to track in smaller groups.



May is among the most beautiful months (after rain season) and in this period often new gorilla babies get born.

November should be the short rainy season, but it has not been like this in the last 5 years and it's a beautiful period to travel in.


It's hard to predict nowadays when the rainy season will be. Climate changes are making it hard to plan. Normally rainy season should be in March, April, beginning of May and November. The last 3 years May has been among the most beautiful months and November has been dry too.
