The Uganda Wildlife Authority has announced an increase in the price of gorilla permits that will now cost a flat fee of 600USD in both low and high seasons for all visitors effective immediately.
This price increase will also affect tourists who had already made bookings for the low seasons of April, May and November.

UWA raised the price of Gorilla permits to be able to suitably compete with Rwanda whose gorilla permits had seen an increase from 750USD to 1500USD.

With that in mind, all 2018 Set Departures organized by Great Lakes Safaris will require a 150USD supplement to make up for the increase in price for gorilla permits.
