3 Days Gorilla Habituation Experience Safari in Uganda
Your 3 Days Gorilla Habituation Experience safari involves you exploring and experiencing Rushaga region of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda.
This gorilla safari package is distinct from the other usual gorilla trips in the sense that you have a whole day of following mountain gorillas with chance to enjoy all the 4 hours of magical encounter with these rare species in their natural habitat.
Gorilla habituation experience mainly involves making the semi-habituated gorilla families get used to human presence before they are opened for gorilla trekking.
It is a unique activity carried out only in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park where over 459 mountain gorillas are all concentrated.
The process of initiating these apes lasts for 2 to 3 years less or more and it is usually conducted by researchers, scientists and experienced trackers. Your 3 days gorilla habituation experience safari to Bwindi will begin and end in Kampala.
