4 Day Bwindi Gorilla Habituation Experience
per person
The 4-day Bwindi gorilla habituation experience is an exciting safari in the magical Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a haven known for its large number of endangered mountain gorillas, which harbor over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. The park is located in southwestern Uganda and draws tourists from different parts of the world who come to witness man’s close cousins, which share 98% of their DNA with humans. This adventure allows visitors to spend four hours observing semi-habituated mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. The experience includes training gorillas to become familiar with human presence in the wild.
