Planning ahead for your African primate adventure? Now is the perfect time to book your 2026 and 2027 gorilla and chimpanzee permits with Openbill Safaris Uganda and secure your place for one of the most extraordinary wildlife encounters on Earth.

Uganda is home to half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas and some of Africa’s best chimpanzee tracking experiences. Permits are limited, demand is high, and early booking guarantees your preferred dates.


Why Book Your 2026 & 2027 Permits Early?

Gorilla and chimpanzee permits are issued by the Uganda Wildlife Authority and are limited per day to protect primates and their habitats.

Booking early ensures:

  • Guaranteed trekking dates
  • Access during peak seasons (June–September & December–February)
  • Better lodge availability
  • Stress-free safari planning
  • Secure official permit confirmation

Many travelers reserve permits 12–18 months in advance, especially for peak seasons.
