An ultimate adventure and a lifetime chance to participate in a 4 hours gorilla habituation experience which takes place in Rushaga sector of Bwindi impenetrable Forest National Park. Gorilla habituation is a taming / training process of wild gorillas so that they get used to human presence. Habituation involves studying the behavior of each individual gorillas by trained researchers who visit these wild apes every day analyzing the best way they can relate and communicate with the gorillas. In the long run, they learn how to talk, give names, interact and be at ease with each other.

Gorilla Trekking VS Gorilla habituation
These are two different unique adventures and worth going for. Gorilla habituation last 4 hours as visitors are involved in the gorilla training and teaching process of the gorillas while gorilla trekking ties visitors to visit already habituated gorillas, familiar with human presence.
