The Best Gorilla Habituation Experience Safaris in Bwindi Forest

Only in Uganda – Gorilla Habituation Experience Safaris

The Best Gorilla Habituation Experience Safaris – 4 hours with a Gorilla Family

The Best All-Day Gorilla Habituation Experience Safaris in the Rushaga area of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The Gorilla Habituation Experience gives you 4 hours with the gentle giants of the forest.

The Trek into and out of the Forest and with the Habituation Experience is an all-day activity requiring a moderate fitness level.

Habituation Experience Safaris are only offered in Uganda in the Rushaga Area of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. No other country offers this one-of-a-kind activity.

“The significant difference between a regular Gorilla Trek and the Gorilla Habituation is this. Gorilla Trekking observes the gentle giants in their natural Habitat, taking photographs of that memorable Time.

The Habituation Experience is not just a more extended version of a Gorilla Trek. You are an active participant in the Habituation process and a learning experience. When it comes to photography and getting quality photos, the Habituation Experience is a hands-down winner.”

 

 What is a Gorilla Habituation Experience Safari?

Our Clients have had nothing but such as this rave (The Icing on the Cake of our Time in Uganda) about their Gorilla Habituation Experience.

In Uganda, 1,500 USD gets you more value for your money than the one Hour with a Gorilla Family in neighboring Rwanda. The Habituation Experience is a value-plus activity, and it gives you what most trekkers want, “more Time with the Mountain Gorillas.”

Over 50% of our clients choose the Gorilla Habituation Experience over normal Gorilla Trekking even though it is one of Africa’s Most Expensive Tourism Activities.

Advice: Plan your Gorilla Habituation Experience Safari well. Please give us a range of dates.

Plan your Gorilla Safari first, not as an add-on at the end of your time in Africa but make it a priority. There are only 4 Gorilla Habituation Experience Permits per day, and during peak season months, they are hard to obtain. A Private Gorilla Habituation Experience can be arranged at an additional cost, and this is most Beneficial to Photographers, those that want Time alone with Gorillas. The Best months for the Habituation Safari are June through October and December through March.
