2021 Discounted Uganda Gorilla trekking permit fees

Uganda wildlife Authority is the government agency mandated with conserving the wildlife in the country. UWA as is commonly known is charged with conservation of wildlife both inside and outside the protected areas. It is currently running the 10 national parks, 13 game parks and some community conservation areas.

With the Covid19 outbreak, Uganda was not spared the wave of lockdowns that went on until early June 2020. The airport and borders were closed for non-essential travel and tourism came to a standstill. This posed a challenge to conservation because people in communities had no access to incomes that often come from tourism activities. Some of them were tempted to get into poaching which did not end well for them.

The airports were re-opened and tourism re-started albeit limping. Locals started traveling as travelers from outside the country were few and the restrictions of quarantine on return home kept many away. We are happy to see people start traveling again and happy that UWA has responded to this by slashing their rates for activities until 30th June 2021; which is great support for tourism recovery.
