Uganda Gorilla Habituation experience, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

An early morning breakfast at 05:00 am will be followed by a transfer to the ranger station at the Rushaga sector with your packed lunch. Accompanied by the Uganda wildlife trackers, rangers & researchers, you will enter the forest & search for the gorilla groups under the process of habituation.
The gorilla habituation experience is a recently introduced activity to mountain gorilla lovers. A limited number of tourists are given the opportunity to experience the gorilla habituation process for 4 hours under the guidance of researchers & trained trackers. This is different from gorilla trekking where 8 people are each assigned a gorilla group & can only watch the gorillas for 1 hour. Pioneered in 2014 by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the mountain gorilla habituation experience is only possible in Uganda & the lowland gorilla habituation at Kahuzi Biega NP. After the Gorilla habituation experience, return to the lodge to refresh and relax. Overnight at Rushaga Gorilla Camp or similar.
