Gorilla Permits Now $600 in 2026: The Perfect Low-Season Adventure with Kamere Tours

Dreaming of coming face-to-face with mountain gorillas in the wild? 2026 brings exciting news for travelers: Uganda is offering discounted gorilla trekking permits at $600 USD for foreign non-residents during the low season months of April, May, and November. With expert planning from Kamere Tours, this is your chance to experience one of Africa’s most iconic adventures at a more affordable price, without compromising on quality.

Why the $600 Permit in 2026 Is a Big Deal

Gorilla trekking has long been considered a premium wildlife experience, with permits typically priced at $800. The 2026 low-season discount to $600 makes this bucket-list adventure far more accessible, especially for international travelers.

With Kamere Tours, these savings can be used to enhance your journey, whether that means upgrading your lodge, extending your safari, or exploring more of Uganda.

Where the Experience Happens

Uganda is home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Trekking takes place in two extraordinary parks:

• Bwindi Impenetrable National Park – Famous for its dense forest and diverse gorilla families.
• Mgahinga Gorilla National Park – Known for its dramatic volcanic scenery and quieter trekking routes.

Kamere Tours helps you choose the ideal location based on your preferences, ensuring a personalized and seamless experience.

Why Visit During April, May, and November?

The low season months of April, May, and November are often overlooked, but they offer unique advantages that savvy travelers love.
