The best time to book a 2-Day Budget Gorilla Trekking Safari

Best time to book: For a budget gorilla trek in Uganda, the smartest move is to book early and aim for the dry seasons, especially June to August and December to February, when trekking conditions are usually easier, and demand is highest. The Uganda Wildlife Authority says gorilla permits must be booked in advance, the standard gorilla permit costing US$800 for foreign non-residents. Because permits for peak dates can sell out quickly, many operators advise securing space several months in advance rather than waiting until the last minute.

The Average cost of a budget gorilla trekking safari

A realistic average for a 2-day budget gorilla trekking safari in Uganda for US, European, and Asian travelers is about US$1,480 to US$1,850 per person, with the final price depending on transport, lodge level, and group size. While the highest fixed cost remains the US$800 permit. In simple terms, the permit takes a large share of the budget, and the rest covers road transfer, one night of budget accommodation, meals, and guiding.
