3 Days Gorilla Habituation Safari tour to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park Uganda

3 Days Gorilla Habituation Safari tour to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park Uganda

  • HB

The 3 days gorilla habituation safari ushers to Bwindi impenetrable national park that is home to half of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas and the gorilla kingdom of Uganda. Unlike the 3 days gorilla trekking safari where you spend an hour with these gentle giants, the habituation safari allows you 4 hours to hang out with a gorilla family in the Rushaga section of Bwindi impenetrable forest.

This safari avails you an opportunity to be a part of the habituation experience where gorillas are taught to get used to human presence in the jungles of Bwindi. You are with a group of researchers, doctorsetc. during the habituating process in Bwindi. It’s one of a kind safari which allows you to spend more hours with the gorilla and more learning about their ways than any other gorilla safari tour.

3 days Gorilla habituation Safari experience highlights

  • 4 hours encounter with a gorilla family in Bwindi
  • Exciting road trip to south western Uganda
  • Detailed itinerary for the 3 days gorilla habituation safari experience in Bwindi
