Booking Uganda Wildlife Authority Gorilla Permit – A Comprehensive Guide on Uganda Wildlife Authority Gorilla permits, exploring the intricacies of the booking process and the pivotal role they play in your encounter with the awe-inspiring mountain gorillas of Uganda. This guide not only demystifies the booking procedure but also sheds light on the commitment of Trek Africa Expeditions in ensuring a seamless and unforgettable safari experience.
When we refer to booking Uganda Wildlife Authority Gorilla permits, we essentially encompass permits for Uganda, Bwindi, and Mgahinga. Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) stands as the governmental steward of wildlife national parks and reserves, holding jurisdiction over Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Booking these permits equates to securing access to the wonders of Uganda gorilla trekking.
To embark on the Gorilla trekking adventure, Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) is the designated entity responsible for issuing Gorilla permits for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga National Park. To secure a permit, begin by choosing your preferred gorilla national park and decide on the year, month, and date of your intended visit. Once these details are finalized, enlist the expertise of Trek Africa Expeditions to check permit availability on your specified date.
Trek Africa Expeditions provides 24/7 access to UWA’s database, enabling the reservation of permits for a duration of seven days. It is advisable to complete the payment within this period, as permits are automatically released from the reservation system after seven days.
UWA Gorilla permits can only be booked and confirmed after making the payment. After communicating your preferred date, month, and year for Gorilla trekking and deciding on either Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga National Park, Trek Africa Expeditions checks availability and reserves the permits on your behalf. An invoice is sent for the UWA gorilla permits, and once the payment is received, Trek Africa Expeditions completes the full purchase of the permits.
Accepted payment methods include credit card and wire transfer. Upon sending proof of payment, Trek Africa Expeditions promptly pays for your Gorilla permits using their funds, ensuring no loss of availability. Direct transactions with UWA are conducted at the headquarters in Kampala.
To book and confirm Uganda Wildlife Authority Gorilla permits, Trek Africa Expeditions requires your passport details, including nationality, date of birth, and full names. These details are essential, as certain nationalities may be eligible for discounts, such as East African residents and citizens. Verification of age is crucial, as the Gorilla trekking age limit is 15 years.
East African residents must accompany the documents with a work permit or diplomatic visa to validate their residency status. Trek Africa Expeditions ensures a smooth booking process by facilitating the submission of necessary documents.
Trek Africa Expeditions pledges that upon receiving your payment, they promptly pay for your UWA gorilla permit. UWA issues a receipt, which is scanned and sent to you for your records. The actual Gorilla permit cards are printed two weeks before your trekking date, and you receive a copy of the printed cards.
In the rare event of unavailability on your specified dates, Trek Africa Expeditions provides alternative days with permit availability for you to choose from. The company primarily books Gorilla permits in conjunction with other services, offering comprehensive Gorilla trekking packages.
Given the swift sell-out of Gorilla permits, especially in the burgeoning popularity of Uganda as a gorilla trekking destination, Trek Africa Expeditions advises clients to book their permits at least two months before the trekking date.
As one of the leading primate companies in Uganda, Trek Africa Expeditions is committed to organizing unforgettable Gorilla trekking, wildlife, and cultural experiences in Uganda and Rwanda.
