Massive Savings! Your Guide to Uganda’s New 2026 Low-Season Permit Rates

If you’ve been waiting for the "perfect moment" to trek with the mountain gorillas, the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) just handed it to you on a silver platter. To stimulate travel during the quieter months, UWA has introduced immediate discounts for 2026 that can save you hundreds of dollars.

At Nile Abenteuer Safaris, we believe everyone should experience the magic of the rainforest without breaking the bank. Here is how the new rates help your wallet:

The 2026 Low Season Breakdown

These rates apply specifically to the months of April, May, and November 2026.

Why Book the 2026 Low Season?


  • The $200 Discount: That’s money you can put toward a better lodge, an extra day on safari, or that high-end camera lens you’ve been eyeing.

  • Exclusive Encounters: Low season means fewer crowds. You’ll have more "breathing room" in the parks and more personalized attention from guides.

  • Photographer's Paradise: April, May, and November bring lush, vibrant green backdrops that make your safari photos pop.

Important Note: These low-season permits are high-demand and, according to UWA guidelines, cannot be rescheduled. Our team at Nile Abenteuer Safaris will help you plan your dates with precision to ensure your trip is seamless.
